Lemony Shrimp Salad with Avocado, Heart of Palm, and Feta <\/b>is the recipe I’m featuring for my Friday Favorites<\/a> pick this Fourth of July weekend! And this salad is perfect to take to all kinds of summer parties. And it’s also great for those hot summer evenings when you want a nice dinner but don’t really want to turn on the stove.<\/p>\n

Of course my Family Favorite Shrimp and Macaroni Salad<\/a> is a holiday tradition in my shrimp-loving family and I’ve made it for parties for years. But this shrimp salad with so many flavorful ingredients is so satisfying that most of my family would devour it and not complain that there wasn’t any macaroni. The day we first tested this recipe I tried it out on a friend who stopped by, and she gave it two very enthusiastic thumbs up.<\/p>\n

And when I want a shrimp salad to take to a party that’s a extra low-carb treat, this lemony shrimp salad is the one I often make. I hope everyone who likes these ingredients will give it a try!<\/p>\n

    \n
  • frozen cooked shrimp<\/li>\n
  • Hearts of Palm<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • avocado<\/li>\n
  • fresh-squeezed lemon juice, I used my fresh-frozen lemon juice<\/a><\/li>\n
  • crumbled Feta Cheese<\/li>\n
  • green onions<\/li>\n
  • shrimp “juice” from drained frozen shrimp<\/li>\n
  • olive oil<\/li>\n
  • Greek Oregano<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • dried dill weed<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • Beau Monde Seasoning<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • salt to taste (remember the Feta is salty)<\/li>\n
  • coarse ground black pepper to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What are Hearts of Palm?<\/h2>\n

    Hearts of palm are a slightly-crunchy vegetable that\u2019s harvested from the center of domesticated palm trees. They used to be a controversial ingredient, but newer harvesting methods don\u2019t damage the trees and wild palms are protected now in many places. And Hearts of Palm are so delicious! Here\u2019s more about Hearts of Palm<\/a> and how to use them<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    What gives the Lemony Shrimp Salad extra shrimp flavor?<\/h2>\n

    For this recipe I use my technique of catching the shrimp “juice” that drains off the thawed frozen shrimp and adding it to the dressing. That’s one thing that makes my family’s favorite Shrimp and Macaroni Salad<\/a> so flavorful.<\/p>\n

    What to use if you don’t have Beau Monde Seasoning:<\/h2>\n

    Personally I love Beau Monde Seasoning<\/a> (affiliate link) and to me it’s an essential ingredient in Grandma Denny’s Homemade Ranch Dip<\/a>! But if you don’t want to buy it just for this recipe I’d use a little onion salt and celery seed to replace it.<\/p>\n

    What if you don’t have every ingredient for the Lemony Shrimp Salad?<\/h2>\n

    This salad has so many great flavors with the shrimp, hearts of palm, avocado, and Feta cheese, that if you don’t have every one of those ingredients I would definitely make the salad with the ones you have. But personally, I would never skip the lemon!<\/p>\n

    How low in carbs is the Lemony Shrimp Salad?<\/h2>\n

    I’m sure this shrimp salad with avocado, hearts of palm, and Feta cheese will be a hit for everyone who likes those ingredients. And for those who care about carbs, this amazing no-cook salad has only 9 net carbs and 18 grams of protein per serving!<\/p>\n

    How to Make Lemony Shrimp Salad with Avocado, Heart of Palm, and Feta:<\/h2>\n

    (This is only a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE<\/strong> link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Let the thawed cooked shrimp drain in a colander, placing the colander over a small bowl to catch the juice. (Bad photographer; I did a terrible job of showing that part!) Let the shrimp drain a few minutes while you prep other ingredients.<\/li>\n
    • Slice up the Hearts of Palm<\/a> (affiliate link) into pieces about 1\/2 inch thick. I cut the larger pieces in half, especially if they don’t separate apart.<\/li>\n
    • Cut up the avocado and toss with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.<\/li>\n
    • This shows the amount of shrimp “juice” I caught in the bowl. Some of that juice will be added to the dressing, which is a trick I borrowed from Shrimp and Macaroni Salad.<\/li>\n
    • Whisk together lemon juice, shrimp juice, olive oil, dried oregano, dried dill weed<\/a> (affiliate link), Beau Monde Seasoning<\/a> (affiliate link), and black pepper to make the dressing.<\/li>\n
    • Crumble about 2\/3 cup Feta Cheese, or a little more if you’re a big Feta fan! Diagonally slice the green onions.<\/li>\n
    • Put the hearts of palm, shrimp, and green onion in a bowl and toss with desired amount of dressing.<\/li>\n
    • Then gently mix in the diced avocado and feta, season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper, and serve. I didn’t use any salt because the Feta is salty, but you might like a little.<\/li>\n
    • Try this tasty Lemony Shrimp Salad and see if your family might like it too!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Make it for a Low-Carb Meal:<\/h2>\n

      This flavor-loaded shrimp salad can definitely be served as a main dish salad. But if you want to serve it as a side dish for a low-carb meal, it would be great with any of these main dishes:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Grilled Lamb Chops<\/a><\/li>\n
