Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Marinade

  • 500g fresh peeled and deveined shrimp
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice (natural)

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumber
  • 1 small jalapeño pepper, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado (plant-based), diced

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Boil the shrimp in lightly salted water until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and let them cool before chopping into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Marinate with Lime Juice: Transfer the chopped shrimp to a bowl and pour fresh lime juice (natural) over it until the shrimp is fully submerged. Let it marinate for about 20 minutes to infuse flavor and firm the shrimp slightly.
  3. Chop Fresh Vegetables: While the shrimp marinates, finely dice the red onion, tomatoes, cucumber, and jalapeño pepper. Combine all in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Combine and Season: Add the marinated shrimp with the lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper to the bowl of vegetables. Toss gently to distribute the flavors evenly.
  5. Add Creaminess and Chill: Fold in the diced avocado (plant-based) for a creamy touch. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp for the best texture and flavor.
  • Do not skip marinating time to ensure the shrimp is properly “cooked” and flavors blend well.
  • Serve cold to preserve the refreshing qualities of the dish.
  • Cut ingredients uniformly in small dice for great texture and presentation.
  • Taste and adjust salt, heat, and acidity as desired.
