Cook the Shrimp: In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the shrimp. Season with garlic powder, cumin (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

        Dress the Salad: Pour the lime dressing over the shrimp and avocado mixture. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the avocados remain intact.

          Serve: Serve the salad on a bed of mixed greens. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired, and serve immediately for the best flavor and freshness.
