Prepare ingredients
Peel and devein shrimp if necessary. Slice avocados, halve cherry tomatoes, slice cucumber, and tear salad greens into bite-sized pieces. Juice orange and lemon.
Make citrus dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt until emulsified.
Cook shrimp
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
Assemble salad
In a large bowl, toss salad greens, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber with half the dressing. Divide between plates, top with warm shrimp, and drizzle with remaining dressing.
