Instructions
Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
Pat the shrimp dry and toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and slightly charred. Set aside and let cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and minced garlic.
Add the tomato juice, lime juice, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce (if using) to the vegetables. Stir well.
Season the mixture with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir again to combine.
Transfer half of the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Then pour the blended mixture back into the bowl with the chunky soup base. Mix well to combine.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the gazpacho for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
When ready to serve, divide the gazpacho among four bowls. Top each bowl with three grilled shrimp, diced avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick.
