- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a pan and cook the shrimp briefly until pink and just firm. Season lightly with salt and set aside to cool slightly.
- Peel the orange and grapefruit, then cut out the segments over a bowl to catch the juice.
- Cut the avocado into large chunks and place them in a serving bowl.
- Add the citrus segments and a spoonful of the collected juice to the avocado.
- Finely grate the garlic into a small bowl and mix it with the remaining olive oil, lime juice, and lime zest.
- Add the shrimp to the salad, drizzle with the dressing, and gently toss.
- Finish with black pepper and chopped herbs just before serving.
