Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Combine shrimp and lime juice in a glass or ceramic bowl. Stir well to coat the shrimp thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. You'll know it's ready when the shrimp turns opaque and looks cooked.
Add red onion, jalapeño, garlic, and salt to the shrimp mixture. Mix everything well, and allow it to sit for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Fold in the avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, and cilantro gently. Mix until everything is well incorporated, and taste to adjust salt or chili for your desired spice level.
Serve chilled, garnished with lime wedges for that extra zing. You can also offer tortilla chips or tostadas on the side for a delightful crunch!

Notes

For best results, use fresh shrimp. Stir halfway through marinating for even cooking from the lime's acidity. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
