Ingredients

  1. Prepare the citrus segments

    Peel the ugli (or grapefruit) by removing the outer skin, discard the white pith, and extract the segments using a knife or a segmenting spoon.

  2. Cut the avocado

    Halve the avocados, remove the pit, peel, then slice the flesh into strips. Cut the strips in half again to get smaller pieces. Lightly drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.

  3. Prepare the homemade mayonnaise

    In a bowl, combine the egg yolk and Dijon mustard. Whisk vigorously while slowly drizzling the oil in a very thin stream, without stopping whisking, until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, then whisk again.

    Time: PT10M

  4. Assemble the salad

    On each plate, place a generous handful of mixed salad greens. Distribute the avocado strips, citrus segments, and cooked shrimp. Drizzle the homemade mayonnaise over the top or serve it on the side as preferred.
