Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 1 Jalapeño pepper, finely diced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Cucumber, diced
- 1 large Avocado, diced
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 bag Tortilla chips or plantain chips (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Begin by chopping the raw shrimp into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large glass or ceramic bowl.
Pour the lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice over the shrimp. Stir to coat the shrimp evenly in the citrus juices.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp turns opaque and is 'cooked' by the citrus juices.
Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator and gently stir in the coconut milk.
Add the diced red onion, jalapeño pepper, chopped cilantro, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Stir to combine.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
Just before serving, gently fold in the diced avocado to avoid mashing it.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, plantain chips, or on its own as a refreshing starter or light main course.
