Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, evenly-sized pieces and add them to a medium mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat) and add to the bowl.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and stir it into the mixing bowl with the vegetables.
In a small bowl, combine lime juice, orange juice, salt, and black pepper to create a citrus marinade. Whisk until the salt is dissolved.
Add the cooked shrimp to the vegetable mixture, followed by the citrus marinade. Stir gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Peel, pit, and dice the avocado into small cubes. Carefully fold the avocado into the mixture, being gentle to avoid smashing the pieces.
Add the minced garlic and give the mixture a final stir to combine all the flavors.
Cover the bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos.
