Flavorful Grilled Shrimp and Avocado Salad with a wonderfully tangy Lemon Mustard Vinaigrette. A wonderful main dish salad.
I marinated the shrimp in a little olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper for about 30 minutes then I put the shrimp on the grill. The combination of shrimp and avocados in this salad is perfect and the lemon mustard vinaigrette is a tangy, delicate addition.
