Shrimp and Avocado Salad

By :The Essential Keto Instant Pot Cookbook by Casey Thaler

Shrimp is a nutritional powerhouse and is loaded with protein, vitamin B12, selenium, and much more. Paired with the healthy monounsaturated fats found in avocado, this makes for a very healthy salad. Add an extra dab of butter to the shrimp to get an even more flavorful salad.
