Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp (cooked, peeled, and deveined)
- 4 medium Roma tomatoes
- 1 small red onion
- 1 large jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 2 whole lime
- 1 large avocado
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by chopping the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces and transferring them to a large mixing bowl.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small cubes and add them to the bowl with the shrimp.
Finely chop the red onion and jalapeño pepper. Remove the seeds from the jalapeño if you prefer less heat. Add them to the bowl.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the mixture.
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and dice the flesh into small cubes. Gently fold the avocado into the shrimp mixture to avoid mashing it.
Juice the limes and pour the lime juice over the salsa mixture.
Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture, then sprinkle in the salt and black pepper.
Carefully toss all the ingredients together until well combined, taking care not to break up the avocado pieces.
Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a flavorful topping for tacos, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld.
