Shrimp Salad

It's been awhile since I posted but I have been cooking.  This recipe is one of my FAVORITE salad recipes and it's easy to make modifications to for special needs - low carbs, low spice, etc.

1 pound raw deveined shrimp
Cherry tomatoes
Jalepeno pepper
Yellow pepper
Anaheim pepper
Cooked pasta (screwball pasta works great)
Lemon juice
Olive oil
Avocado
Salt/pepper
Cilantro

Boil water, cook shrimp until pink (pretty quick, so pay attention).  Combine halved tomatoes, diced peppers, pasta and chopped cilantro.  Add the shrimp.  Mix olive oil/lemon juice/salt/pepper for a quick dressing, pour over shrimp mixture and combine.  Dice avocado RIGHT before serving and toss into salad.  Enjoy!

note: less (or more) spice, adjust jalepeno; carb free just leave out pasta, which I did in the pictures.
