It is necessary
- - 250 g of peeled pumpkin;
- - 8 large shrimps;
- - 1 avocado;
- - a handful of pine nuts;
- - a sprig of mint, green basil;
- - juice from half an orange and lemon;
- - 2 tbsp. tablespoons of olive oil;

Instructions
Step 1
Boil the shrimp in salted water until tender, peel them of heads, shells and intestinal veins. Lightly fry the pine nuts in a dry skillet without adding oil.
Step 2
Peel the pumpkin in advance, cut into slices, fry in 1 tablespoon of butter and olive oil, stirring occasionally. 5 minutes will be enough. The pumpkin should not turn out to be too soft - this will not work for a salad.
Step 3
Peel the avocado, remove the pit, cut into slices, sprinkle with lemon juice, otherwise the avocado slices will quickly darken.
Step 4
Make a salad dressing. To do this, rinse the sprigs of fresh mint and green basil, disassemble them into leaves, cut very finely. Squeeze the juice from half an orange and lemon, mix with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with pepper and salt to taste. Add chopped greens, mix thoroughly. Pumpkin salad dressing is ready.
Step 5
Rinse the corn salad or any other leafy salad, pat dry, and place on a serving platter. Top with piles of pumpkin, shrimp, avocado. Pour with orange dressing, sprinkle the prepared Orange Surprise salad with pine nuts. You can add diced orange pulp.
