Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams medium raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely diced
- 2 units Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 unit jalapeño pepper, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 unit avocado, diced
- 0.5 cup corn kernels, cooked
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 bag tortilla chips
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and cumin powder. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the heat and let them cool slightly.
While the shrimp cool, prepare the citrus marinade by combining lime juice, orange juice, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
Chop the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
To the bowl, add red onion, diced tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, avocado, and corn kernels.
Pour the prepared citrus marinade over the shrimp and vegetables. Toss everything gently to combine, making sure the ingredients are evenly coated with the marinade.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips, or refrigerate for 20-30 minutes if you prefer it chilled.
