Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Prepare the shrimp by peeling, deveining, and cutting into small bite-sized pieces for even marination.
- Place the shrimp in a glass bowl and pour the fresh lime juice over it until fully submerged.
- Cover and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turns opaque and firm.
- While the shrimp marinates, dice the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and jalapeño into small, even pieces.
- Drain excess lime juice from the shrimp, leaving a small amount for flavor.
- Add the chopped vegetables, cilantro, and salt to the shrimp and gently mix.
- Fold in the diced avocado carefully to maintain its texture.
- Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and stir lightly to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve chilled.
Notes
Use the freshest shrimp possible for best flavor and safety. Do not over-marinate the shrimp to avoid a rubbery texture. Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning. Adjust spice level by increasing or reducing jalapeño. Serve chilled for the most refreshing taste.
