Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 1 pound Raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3/4 cup Fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup Fresh lemon juice
  • 2 whole Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup Red onion, finely diced
  • 1 cup Cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 1 whole Jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 1/2 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 whole Avocado, diced
  • 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil(optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the raw shrimp into 1/2-inch bite-sized pieces and place them in a large glass or ceramic bowl.

  2. 2

    Pour the lime and lemon juices over the shrimp, ensuring they are completely submerged.

  3. 3

    Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the shrimp turn opaque and pink (the acid 'cooks' the protein).

  4. 4

    While the shrimp marinates, dice the tomatoes, onion, cucumber, and jalapeño.

  5. 5

    Once the shrimp is ready, drain about half of the excess citrus juice from the bowl if you prefer it less acidic.

  6. 6

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro.

  7. 7

    Gently fold in the diced avocado and olive oil to avoid mashing the avocado.

  8. 8

    Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve chilled with tortilla chips or crackers.
