Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor. If using frozen shrimp, make sure they are fully thawed and patted dry before cooking.
- Grilling the pineapple slices before adding them to the salad can enhance their sweetness and add a subtle smoky flavor.
- To add some extra crunch, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts, such as almonds or cashews.
- For a bit of spice, you can include diced jalapeño or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- Ensure the avocado is ripe but firm to avoid it becoming too mushy in the salad.
