Shrimp and Avocado Salad

The Shrimp and Avocado Salad is a signature entrée at Malai Kitchen, known for its light yet flavorful profile and "made-from-scratch" ingredients. It is a popular choice for diners seeking a healthy, gluten-free, or pescatarian option.

Ingredients & Flavor Profile

The salad is designed with a balance of creamy, crunchy, and savory elements:

1. Protein: Generous portions of succulent wok-seared shrimp.
2. Greens & Vegetables: A base of fresh green leafy lettuce mixed with diced avocado, sliced cucumbers, and tomatoes.
3. Crunch & Toppings: Garnished with house-made banh mi croutons, toasted coconut flakes, and cracked white pepper for a slight kick.
