  1. 1

    Make the ginger-lime dressing: Whisk together extra-virgin olive oil, lime juice, rice vinegar, grated ginger, honey, and chili flakes in a small bowl or jar. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Season the shrimp: Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel. Toss with chili powder, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Cook the shrimp: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook 1–2 minutes per side until pink and just curled. Do not crowd the pan. Remove from heat immediately.

    Build the salad base: In a large bowl, combine romaine lettuce, red cabbage, edamame, red onion, mango, cilantro, and jalapeño if using. Toss to combine.

    Assemble and serve: Add shrimp to the salad. Add diced avocado last. Drizzle dressing over everything, toss gently, and finish with toasted sesame seeds. Serve right away.
