Ingredients

  • 1 pound shrimp (raw, peeled, deveined )
  • 1 cup lime juice
  • 1 cup cilantro (minced)
  • 1 1/2 cups red onion (diced)
  • 2 medium tomatoes (diced)
  • 1 medium cucumber (diced)
  • 3 serrano chilis, seeded and minced (optional )
  • 2 avocados (diced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • saltines or tostadas (to serve)

Steps

  1. 1

    Pat the shrimp dry and mince into small pieces. Place in a large bowl and toss with lime juice.  Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, stir together cilantro, onion, tomato, cucumber, and serrano chilis in a medium bowl. Once the shrimp has marinated, remove any excess moisture that has accumulated into a small bowl. Reserve in case you need to add liquid at the end.
