Place the shrimp into a bowl, add lemon salt and garlic powder. Mix well and let them marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. While the shrimp are marinating, chop the veggies.

Next, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes, until just beginning to turn pink and opaque.

Flip and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Set aside to cool, and once ready to handle chop into bite-size pieces.

In a large salad bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, avocado, and chopped shrimp.

Drizzle the dressing all over the salad. Toss well to evenly coat. Enjoy.
