Honey Paprika Shrimp, Avocado and Mango Salad

As the weather warms up, I start craving fresh and colorful salads that are a total palate party and easy to prepare! Salads that are both; refreshing and hearty and literally awaken and play with all your senses. One such salad is this Thai-inspired Shrimp and Mango Salad, except I had to make a few tweaks, that in my humble opinion; further enhance the bold flavors happening here! Insert creamy avocado chunks, a generous sprinkle of sumac, pickled red onions, and a honey paprika marinade or rub on the shrimp. Can’t compete with these delicious ingredients that together orchestrate a winning bowl.
