Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 medium Roma tomatoes (diced)
- 1 small red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and finely diced)
- 1 small English cucumber (diced)
- 0.25 cup cilantro (chopped)
- 1 large avocado (diced)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cups tortilla chips (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Start by ensuring the shrimp are peeled and deveined. If the shrimp are large, cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 1/2 inch each.
In a large non-reactive bowl (glass or stainless steel works best), combine the shrimp, lime juice, and lemon juice. Make sure the shrimp are fully submerged in the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes, or until the shrimp turn opaque and are fully 'cooked' by the acidity of the citrus juices.
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the vegetables. Dice the tomatoes, finely chop the red onion and jalapeño, dice the cucumber, and chop the cilantro.
Once the shrimp are done marinating, drain off most of the citrus juice, leaving about 1/4 cup in the bowl to retain flavor.
Add the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cucumber, and chopped cilantro to the shrimp. Gently toss everything together to combine.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Drizzle in the olive oil and give it another gentle mix.
Right before serving, carefully fold in the diced avocado to avoid mashing it.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips on the side or enjoy it on its own as a light and refreshing dish.
