Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- On a baking tray toss shrimp, olive oil, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Mix together, and spread into an even layer.
- Roast 20 minutes.
- While shrimp are roasting, mix together all sauce ingredients except avocado, and stir well. Taste for seasoning, and adjust as desired.
- If you want a warm shrimp salad feel free to toss the shrimp and avocado directly into the sauce and serve. If you want a cooler salad allow the shrimp to cool slightly before stirring in the shrimp and avocado.
- This salad can totes be made the day before and kept in the fridge for a well-chilled option.
