minutesIngredients
1 lb cooked & peeled shrimp, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 english cucumber, diced
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1 avocado, diced
1 jalapeño, seeds removed & finely diced
2 limes, juiced
1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp salt, plus more to taste if desired
1/4 tsp pepper, plus more to taste if desired
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine red onion, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Let marinate for at least 5 minutes.
- Add chopped shrimp, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, jalapeño, and cilantro. Toss to coat.
- Serve immediately.
- If you’re making for a big group, I suggest doubling or tripling the recipe. To make ahead, combine all the ingredients except for the avocado and cilantro and keep this refrigerated, then add them just before serving. Best enjoyed when freshly made but will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
