Let’s get started!
– 1/2 pound – 2 ripe avocados – 1 large tomato – 1/2 red bell pepper – 1/4 cup chopped red onion – 1/4 cup fresh cilantro – Juice of 1 Lime Juice – 1/2 teaspoon Salt – 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
1. 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. 2. Dice the avocados, tomato, red bell pepper, and red onion into small, uniform pieces, and chop the fresh cilantro finely.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced avocado, chopped shrimp, tomato, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro. 4. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture to add flavor and prevent the avocado from browning.
5. Season the salsa with salt and black pepper to taste, and adjust seasoning as needed. 6. Carefully toss all the ingredients together until well combined, taking care not to mash the avocado too much.
7. For best flavor, refrigerate the salsa for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, or serve immediately if preferred. 8. 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.
