Shrimp Salsa Verde Salad Boats are an easy to make lunch or appetizer that is made with healthy, low-carb & paleo ingredients.
Grain-free and gluten-free shrimp salad in a zesty, creamy salsa verde with hints of lime.
Top these boats with chopped avocado and optional chopped cilantro if you desire.
No baking or cooking is required because you can thaw a bag of cooked frozen wild-caught shrimp.
A homemade salsa verde can be used like my homemade salsa verde recipe, or a store-bought salsa verde can also be used to save time.
I use Belgian endive leaves, but the shrimp salad is also good served in romaine lettuce cups or butter lettuce leaves.
This would also be excellent on some low carb crackers.
Shrimp Salsa Verde Salad Boats:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (20-30) cooked wild-caught shrimp, tails off, peeled, deveined (thawed if using frozen)

- ½ tsp sea salt
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
