Prepare the shrimp: Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Cook the shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the seasoned shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let them cool.
Prepare the gazpacho salad base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño (if using), parsley, and cilantro.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Combine: Pour the dressing over the gazpacho salad base and mix well to combine.
Assemble the salad: On a serving platter or individual plates, create a bed of mixed greens or arugula. Top with the gazpacho salad mixture and cooked shrimp.
Add the finishing touch: Gently scatter the diced avocado over the top of the salad.
Serve: Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or a light main course.
