Prepare the Shrimp:

  1. Cook the Shrimp: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the heat and let them cool slightly.
  2. Chop the Shrimp: Once cooled, chop the shrimp into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.

  2. Add the Shrimp: Add the chopped shrimp to the bowl with the vegetables.

Make the Dressing:

  1. Combine Salsa and Lime: In a small bowl, mix the fresh salsa with the lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Salad:

  1. Toss the Salad: Pour the salsa dressing over the shrimp and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to combine and coat everything evenly.
  2. Serve: If desired, serve the salad on a bed of mixed greens. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
