60 milliliters freshly squeezed lime juice
04 -
60 milliliters fresh lemon juice

1 medium avocado, cut into cubes

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Grab an avocado, dice it up, and toss it gently with the shrimp mixture. Eat it right away. Feel free to scoop with tostadas or chips if that's your thing.
02 -
Cover the bowl, then leave it in the fridge for at least an hour—up to four if you want the flavors to really pop.
03 -
Slice the cooled shrimp into bites about 1.5 centimeters wide. Put them in a big bowl. Add the tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, both citrus juices, cilantro, and a sprinkle of salt. Mix everything lightly so it blends together.
04 -
Fill a large pot with salted water and get it boiling. Shut off the burner, toss in the shrimp, and let them sit just until they're pink and firm—about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and chill until they're easy to touch, about 10 minutes.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Pop any leftovers into a sealed container in the fridge and eat within a day so it stays fresh.
