Bring on the smoky heat! These hearty salad bowls are filled with plenty of healthy ingredients…avocado, black beans, corn brown rice, romaine lettuce and some shrimp that will have you reaching for the nearest bottle of cold lager. In this hot weather, we are fixing main dish salads for lunch and dinner. A couple of our favorites are Grilled Flank Steak Salad with Smoked Paprika Dressing and Salad Cups with Quinoa, Shrimp, Avocado & Lemon Dressing. This one will certainly be added to the list.
However, be warned, this salad is not for the faint of heart. If you are not a heat-seeking missile, I suggest veering away towards something a little tamer. Alternatively, you could do a light rub on the shrimp…ancho chile powder, cumin, salt and pepper.
This recipe is straight from the pages of Bev Cooks, via the Tasty Kitchen site. If you haven’t visited Bev’s site, I suggest you get over there…stat. I guaranteed that you will be highly entertained by Bev’s nutty sense of humor and inspired by her beautiful recipes.

Looks absolutely yummy….so healthy and full of flavor! Great post and beautiful photos, as usual, Dara!
Love, love, love, this Dara & Bev!
Mmmm…this looks absolutely delicious! Love me some chipotle shrimp.
Yum, this is one of my favorite salads!
Sooo glad you made and dug ‘em, Dara!
I hope your mouth has healed since the eating.
Love everything about this; sounds like the perfect summer meal Dara.
OMG(*^%$# That is a gorgeous dish – but, I know those chipotles and I would be a dead duck to have that much heat in a dish. One half of one would be all my family could handle – but that would still be delicious. I had no idea that people could really eat that much heat in a dish!

Looks fantastic! Cannot wait to try this out. Delish.
Made this for the forth actually had it in Arizona yours look better! WONDERFUL RECIPE!
I love every single thing about this recipe! Will definitely be making this soon
Oh I need this. Today.
I made this last night. It was nice and hearty and I loved that the “sauce/marinade” was just an easy one step. But holy cow it was HOT! If shrimp was cheaper I would have just pushed them to the side. I was thinking the chipotle might be good as part of a dressing though because it does have good flavor, it was just too intense on its own.
Thank you for recipe, always trying to find lower carb dinners.
This looks absolutely amazing, Dara! So many great flavors!
