Make

Place kale in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of vinaigrette (amount for 4 servings, adjust if customizing). Toss kale with dressing and use your hands to "massage" the leaves (this will make them more tender). (Skip this step if using baby kale.)
Heat a nonstick skillet with cooking oil over medium heat. Toss shrimp with basil and garlic powder and season with some salt and pepper. Add shrimp to heated oil and saute until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
If you'd like the broccoli warm, heat it briefly in the microwave.
Toss kale with bell peppers, broccoli, and pine nuts.
Divide salad among serving plates and top with shrimp and avocados. Drizzle with remaining dressing until dressed to your liking. Enjoy!
