Ingredients

  • 1 lb medium shrimp, (raw, peeled, deveined, very fresh)
  • 1 small red onion, (thinly sliced into half moons)
  • 1 small jalapeño, (finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice, (about 6 limes)
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, (about 2 oranges)
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1 medium cucumber, (diced, about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 ripe avocado, (peeled and cut into cubes)
  • Tostadas or tortillas, (for serving, optional)
  • Cilantro, thinly sliced radishes, lime wedges or wheels, (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the shrimp. Once peeled and deveined, pat the shrimp dry, then roughly chop into small, bite size pieces. Place the shrimp in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    "Cook" the shrimp. Add 1 thinly sliced red onion and 1 finely chopped jalapeño, then season with 1 tsp Kosher salt and ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper. Pour ½ cup fresh lime juice and ½ cup fresh orange juice on top, give it a good stir, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or until the shrimp are cooked and opaque.

  3. 3

    Add remaining ingredients, then serve. Stir in 1 cup chopped tomatoes, 1 cup diced cucumber, 1 cubed avocado, and ½ cup fresh cilantro, then taste and adjust seasoning, as needed. Serve straight from the fridge either in small bowls or with tostadas or tortilla chips!
