Instructions
Ginger dressing
Add the Ginger dressing ingredients to a small bowl. Using an immersion blender, mix together over low speed, until combined. Set aside.
Slice the avocado in half, and remove the pit. Using a spoon, scoop out the avocado flesh, and cut it into slices. Place in a small bowl, and stir together with the lime juice.
Arrange the spinach, avocado, and cucumber slices on a serving platter, or large plate. Season with the sea salt, and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pan, over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and chili powder. Add the shrimp, stir to combine, and fry for a couple of minutes per side until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, be careful not to overcook or the shrimp may be rubbery. Pre-cooked shrimp should only be heated through, 1 - 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Use a slotted spoon to place the shrimp, with some of the spicy sauce, on top of the vegetables. For serving, sprinkle the nuts and cilantro on top, drizzled with the ginger dressing.

This makes 2 servings, so serving size is 1/2 of the final dish. You can divide by weight or volume (both of which may vary).

You could use a firm fish or chicken.

Absolutely delicious. I didn’t alter a thing except leaving the salt and pepper until we tasted the dish. I used Sambal and it made a lovely change from chilli. 5/5 for this dish.

LOVE the dressing! I'm not sure if this was asking for a dry form of sambal oelek? I used the paste, and when I put it in the oil it starting popping and splashing *like crazy*.
I had to stand at arm's length to do anything.Reply: #10

I had to stand at arm's length to do anything.Chili powder is typically a blend of spices including peppers, cumin and garlic. You can use either chili powder of sambal oelek in this recipe.

The general rule for homemade dressing is 5 days in the fridge in a sealed container.
