Ingredients
2 cups cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup diced cucumber
1 cup diced cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes
1/2 avocado, diced
1 lemon, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté shrimp for 2-3 minutes until just cooked through. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and avocado.
Toss gently with lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, dill, salt, and pepper.
Top the bowl with cooked shrimp and serve immediately.
Notes
For a spicier twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
This bowl can be prepped ahead (cook shrimp separately and chill all components) and assembled just before serving.
Substitute any fresh herbs you prefer, like parsley or chives, for dill.
Shrimp can be substituted with cooked, peeled prawns or chicken breast for a meat alternative.
