Print Recipe

A fresh, zesty, and easy no-cook summer snack featuring cooked shrimp, creamy avocado, and bright lime juice. Perfect for quick meals, gatherings, or light dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 medium ripe but firm avocados
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (~120 ml)
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion (~40 g)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (Roma or cherry, ~150 g)
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed chopped cilantro
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • Salt to taste (preferably kosher salt)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Chop the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces (about 1/2 inch chunks). Dice the tomatoes and red onion finely. If the onion is too sharp, soak it in cold water for 5 minutes and drain well. Mince the jalapeño and chop the cilantro. Dice the avocado last to avoid browning.
  2. In a mixing bowl, pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir to dissolve the salt slightly.
  3. Add the chopped shrimp, red onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, and cilantro to the lime juice. Stir gently to coat everything evenly.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the shrimp soak up the lime juice and flavors meld.
  5. Gently fold in the diced avocado right before serving. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

Use cooked shrimp for safety and convenience. Do not over-marinate the shrimp in lime juice to avoid tough texture and browning avocado. Soak red onion in cold water if too sharp. Add avocado last to keep it fresh. Fresh lime juice is essential for flavor and ‘cooking’ the shrimp. Serve immediately after adding avocado. Store leftovers in airtight container up to 2 days; do not freeze or reheat.
