🛒 Ingredients
🦐 1 lb (450 g) large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
🥑 2 ripe Hass avocados, diced into large chunks
🍅 3 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
🧅 ½ cup red onion, finely minced
🌶️ 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely minced
🌿 ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
🍋 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
🫒 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
🧄 ½ tsp garlic powder
🧂 ½ tsp sea salt
⚫ ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Shrimp
Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a rolling boil.
Add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Immediately transfer the shrimp to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and preserve their tender texture.
Drain thoroughly, pat dry, and chop into bite-sized pieces.
2️⃣ Prepare the Dressing
In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced red onion, jalapeño, fresh lime juice, and olive oil.
Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes so the lime juice softens the onion and enhances the flavors.
3️⃣ Add the Fresh Vegetables
Stir in the diced Roma tomatoes and chopped cilantro until evenly combined with the citrus dressing.
4️⃣ Fold in the Shrimp and Avocado
Add the chopped shrimp and diced avocado to the bowl.
Using a rubber spatula or large spoon, gently fold everything together to keep the avocado pieces intact while evenly coating them with the dressing.
5️⃣ Season and Serve
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
Gently toss one final time.
Serve immediately with crispy tortilla chips, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving for even brighter flavor.

💡 Recipe Tips
Use ripe but firm Hass avocados so they hold their shape.
Chill the shrimp completely before mixing to keep the avocado fresh.
Fresh lime juice provides the brightest flavor—avoid bottled juice when possible.
Remove the jalapeño seeds for mild heat, or leave a few in for extra spice.
Enjoy the salsa the same day for the freshest taste and the best avocado texture.
