Shrimp Avocado Taco Salad is full of fresh avocados, tomatoes, red onions, black beans and corn. The shrimp cook in a blend of delicious taco seasonings. Serve it with some tortilla chips and this salad is unforgettable!
I have almost made it to the end of my pregnancy guys. I have been buying stuff like crazy trying to prepare and looking in her little room makes me so excited for her arrival! I feel like the last part goes by so slow and I have been so uncomfortable. But luckily keeping extremely busy has helped.
This last part of my pregnancy I have been craving salads like crazy. It is probably a good thing to help keep the weight in the end under control. This salad right here is absolutely incredible. I mean seriously! It is made with fresh and delicious ingredients and the flavor is out of this world!
The shrimp take only minutes to cook in a delicious blend of taco seasonings. Then you create the salad. I think avocado is a necessary part to almost any salad because it is a personal favorite. But add in some crisp romaine, tomatoes, red onion, black beans, and corn and you have a mouthwatering salad.
When I originally had made this salad, I made it with a salsa ranch dressing. Don’t get me wrong, that dressing is delicious. But as soon as I started eating the salad, it didn’t need the dressing! All of the fresh ingredients and spices from the shrimp made it so flavorful that you didn’t need dressing. So I will include the recipe for the dressing I made but it is delicious even without it!
I know that you are going to love this salad just as much as I did!

Not sure if you’ve noticed, but I’ve been obsessed with quick and easy sheet pan meals recently.

Today, I’m giving you a nutritious, delicious, super food packed meal of baked salmon with zesty herb and garlic sauce and green vegetables.
This sheet pan meal ticks so many boxes: paleo, keto, AIP and Whole30 friendly, it’s a perfect meal for anyone doing a reset. It has loads of green veggies, it has omega-3s rich fish, it’s quick and easy, and most importantly, it’s full of flavour.
Cook’s notes
I am using salmon fillets because I love oily fish and my partner really likes this particular type of fish. You can use any other part of salmon, like salmon steaks which are cheaper, or any other fish that suits your budget and location.
You can also make this with prawns or chicken instead of fish. For prawns, start baking the vegetables earlier and add the prawns in the last 5 minutes as they don’t need much time to cook. For chicken, it’s the other way around. Slice the chicken fillets into thinner strips and bake for 5 minutes before adding the vegetables, then cook for 15 more minutes together, so a total of 20 minutes for thin strips of chicken.

For the sauce
For the rest
- Preheat the oven to 200 C / 400 F.
- Mix together the sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
- Grease a large sheet pan or flat-ish baking tray with about a tablespoon of olive oil and place the salmon fillets in the middle, leaving about an inch of space in between. Spread even amounts of the sauce over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Scatter the green vegetables around and in between the fillets, overlapping each other is fine. Drizzle the vegetables lightly with olive oil (about 2 tablespoons) and the juice of half of the remaining lemon. Sprinkle with a few pinches of sea salt and pepper.
- Place the tray in the oven for 15 minutes, rotating halfway if your oven is slightly uneven in temperature (like mine).
- Serve while hot with any additional vegetables, salads, or starchy carbs, if you needed.
