Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 Avocados, diced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 Jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
- 3 tbsp Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 bag Tortilla chips (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Let marinate for 10 minutes while prepping the other ingredients.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced avocados, halved cherry tomatoes, red onion, chopped cilantro, and diced jalapeño (if using).
Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture and gently toss to coat. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste, if needed.
Once the shrimp have cooled slightly, chop them into bite-sized pieces (if desired) and fold them into the salsa mixture carefully to avoid breaking up the avocado too much.
Transfer the Fiesta Shrimp and Avocado Salsa to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos or grilled meats.
