- 3 Cut the cooled shrimp into ½-inch pieces. Toss in the dressing to coat, then fold in the cucumber, mango, and avocado. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt and the pepper.
- 4 Serve the shrimp salad in the lettuce leaves. Garnish with chives, mango slices, and more Fiery spice blend, if desired. Serve cold.
