- Begin by preheating the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl combine the shrimp, avocado oil, garlic granules, sea salt, and pepper. Toss to combine. Place shrimp on a rimmed baking sheet with a little space between each shrimp. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the shrimp is opaque, and set aside to cool.
- Make the peanut dressing by combining peanut butter, rice vinegar, coconut aminos, maple syrup, sriracha, garlic granules, ground ginger, and water together. Whisk until combined, shake in a mason with a lid, or blend in a mini blender.
- Dice the mini cucumbers into bite-size pieces (cucumber slices work well too). Peel and dice the avocado into bite-sized pieces. To make the healthy salad, mix together the cucumber, avocado, shrimp, and half the peanut dressing in a large bowl. Add more dressing to your taste preferences. To serve your avocado shrimp salad, top it with basil and peanuts. Enjoy!
