Halve avocado, remove pit and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
Mash, then add the lime juice and salt to taste; stir to combine.
Lay the toast on a plate.
Spread with the mashed avocado, then lightly mound some sprouts over the avocado and sprinkle with the carrot salad.
Arrange the shrimp over the salad.
