  1. In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat and marinate for 15 minutes.

Notes

  • You can adjust the spice level of the shrimp by adding more or less chili powder.
  • For a vegetarian option, replace shrimp with grilled tofu or tempeh.
  • This salad is best served immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
