Instructions

Chop the shrimp into small pieces and place in a glass bowl.
Pour lime juice over shrimp to cover. Let marinate in the fridge for 30–60 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Once shrimp is opaque, drain most of the citrus juice.
Mix in tomato, onion, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
Add olive oil for a smooth finish (optional).
Fold in diced avocado gently before serving.
Chill for 10–15 minutes, then serve cold with chips or tostadas.

Notes

Use fresh lime juice only—bottled lacks the brightness needed.
Don’t skip chilling the final mix; it enhances flavor and texture.
Add a squeeze of orange juice for a tropical twist.
For extra heat, use serrano peppers instead of jalapeños.
