Kitchen appliances and utensils:

• colander;

• kitchen knife;
• deep plates (2 pieces);
• a small salad bowl (2 pieces);
• a large salad bowl for serving dishes;

Ingredients

• How to choose shrimp - when buying these crustaceans, pay attention to the fact that the tail of the shrimp should be bent inward, to the abdomen. This is the main sign that before freezing the product did not lie for a long time after catching.
• Arugula - choose only fresh, springy leaves. The grass is not stored for a long time, so take the amount needed to prepare the dish. Arugula should not be frozen, it completely loses its unique nutty mustard taste when frozen. Spicy grass is not cut, but torn by hands.
• Avocado selection - to choose a ripe fruit, pay attention to the softness of the fruit and the color of its skin. Take avocado slightly soft. The peel should be dark green, close to brown (we are not talking about black varieties of avocado). The skin color of the handle is light yellow, if the perimeter of the handle is darker, the fruit is overripe and does not fit as an ingredient for salad.
