Ingredients:
Fried shrimp
- 220 g medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (do not remove tails)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Special equipment: metal skewers
Vinaigrette dressing
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 clove garlic, crushed or grated
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

- 1 avocado, diced

Preparation:
- Fried shrimp:
Preheat the grill to medium heat. In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss well. Thread the shrimp onto metal skewers.
- Place the shrimp on a hot grill and cook until cooked through (pink) and grill marks appear, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and set aside. When cool enough to handle, remove the shrimp from the skewers.
- Vinaigrette dressing:
In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice, garlic, and a pinch each of coarse salt and black pepper. Stir, then slowly whisk in the olive oil. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Salad:
Add the lettuce, avocado, and tomatoes to the bowl with the dressing. Toss thoroughly, then transfer to a serving bowl or platter, reserving any remaining dressing. Top the salad with olives, crumbled goat cheese, and shrimp. Drizzle the shrimp with the remaining dressing. Serve immediately.
