Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb medium shrimp, cooked and diced
- 3 ripe tomatoes, diced
- 1 medium red onion, diced
- 1 handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 avocado, diced
- 2–3 fresh limes, juiced
- 1–2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 jalapeño, minced (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- If shrimp are not already cooked, gently simmer them in water for 1-2 minutes until cooked through. Rinse under cold water and chop into bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeños (if using).
- Squeeze in the fresh lime juice and add a splash of orange juice, mixing well.
- Let the mixture chill for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Right before serving, gently stir in the diced avocado to avoid it getting mushy.
- Serve in a bowl alongside tortilla chips or in little glasses for a fancy touch.
Notes
For best results, add avocado right before serving to keep it fresh. This dish is perfect for summer gatherings!
