Ingredients
- 2 Pounds shrimp fresh or thawed, peeled and deveined
- 2 jalapenos or more if liked
- 3 roma tomatoes
- 1 English cucumber
- ⅓ Cup red onion
- 2 avocados
- ¼ Cup cilantro
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- ½ Teaspoon black pepper
- ½ Cup lime juice
- ½ Cup orange juice
- ¼ Cup lemon juice
Instructions
- If the shrimp are raw you may want to poach them for a couple of minutes in boiling water. If large, they need to be cut into thirds or fourths.
- Place the shrimp, jalapenos, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, avocados, cilantro, salt and pepper in a bowl and toss to combine.
- Combine all the juices and pour over the shrimp. Let this marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
- Drain the marinade before serving.
Notes
Cut shrimp evenly: Ensures even marinating and texture.
Use fresh citrus juice: Bottled juice won’t deliver the same flavor.
Chill well before serving: Enhances flavor and keeps it refreshing.
Serve with chips or tostadas: Adds crunch and makes it more filling.
