- 1 Spoon
- 1 Strainer
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound about 225 grams, cooked and chopped Shrimp
- 2 ripe avocados diced Avocado
- 1 large tomato diced Tomato
- 1/2 red bell pepper diced Red Bell Pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion Red Onion
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped Cilantro
- Juice of 1 Lime Juice

Instructions
- If using raw shrimp, cook them first by boiling in salted water for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque; then drain, cool, and chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Dice the avocados, tomato, red bell pepper, and red onion into small, uniform pieces, and chop the fresh cilantro finely.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced avocado, chopped shrimp, tomato, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro.
- Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture to add flavor and prevent the avocado from browning.
- Season the salsa with salt and black pepper to taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Carefully toss all the ingredients together until well combined, taking care not to mash the avocado too much.
- For best flavor, refrigerate the salsa for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, or serve immediately if preferred.
- Transfer the Avocado Shrimp Salsa to a serving bowl and garnish with extra cilantro leaves or lime wedges if desired. Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled meats, fish, or tacos.
Notes
- Shrimp Preparation - If using raw shrimp, ensure they are cooked properly before adding to the salsa. Cooked shrimp should be cooled and chopped into bite-sized pieces for easy mixing.
- Vegetable Uniformity - Dice the vegetables into small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution and better presentation in the salsa.
