Equipment

  • skillet or grill
  • large salad bowl
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing spoon or tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 2–3 tbsp blackened seasoning (paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne, salt, pepper)
  • 4 cups fresh lettuce or mixed greens
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2–4 tbsp fire-roasted hummus
  • 2–3 tbsp balsamic vinaigrette
  • optional crumbled feta cheese or toasted seeds

Instructions
 

  • Pat shrimp dry and toss with olive or avocado oil. Coat evenly with blackened seasoning. Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat.
  • Place shrimp on the skillet or grill. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until opaque and lightly charred. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
  • Wash and dry lettuce or mixed greens. Slice avocado, halve cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice red onion. Arrange the vegetables in a large salad bowl.
  • Place cooked shrimp on top of the salad. Add dollops of fire-roasted hummus evenly across the bowl. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette. Optionally sprinkle with crumbled feta, seeds, or fresh herbs.
  • Serve immediately for maximum freshness, or pack in meal prep containers keeping hummus and dressing separate until ready to eat.

Notes

This salad is highly customizable: swap shrimp for chicken, tofu, or tempeh; try different hummus flavors; or change the dressing to lemon-tahini or Greek yogurt-based options. Prep vegetables ahead for quick assembly, and add seeds or feta for extra texture.
