Ingredients
Shrimp:
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 pinch pepper to taste
- 1 pound Shrimp no shell and no tails, raw or pre-cooked is fine
Guacamole:
- 4 ripe avocados large, peeled, pitted, and diced
- ½ red onion medium, peeled and diced
- 1 cup grape tomatoes diced, or cherry or Roma tomatoes
- 1-2 jalapeños large, stemmed, seeded and finely - diced, adjust the amount to your spice preference
- ½ red pepper deseeded and chopped - optional
Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice or lime juice
- 1-2 tablespoon olive oil optional
- ⅓ cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or more to taste
- ⅓ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 pinch cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine shrimp together with the lemon (or lime juice), minced garlic and salt and pepper, to taste.
- If using raw shrimp: fry in a hot pan until cooked through (about 2-3 minutes per side). Transfer to a salad bowl. If using pre-cooked shrimp: you can do the first step right in the salad bowl. No need to cook them again.
- Add the avocados, onion, tomatoes, jalapeños and red peppers (if using). Drizzle with the lemon (or lime) juice, olive oil (If using), cilantro (or parsley), salt cumin and pepper.
- Toss gently until evenly mixed through. For a creamier guac, continue mixing until reaching your desired consistency. For a mashed guac, feel free to smash the avocado with a fork, until reaching desired texture. (When doing this, we like to leave some avocado chunks in there.)
- Taste and season with extra salt if needed, or an extra squeeze of lemon juice. Serve immediately with chips or veggie sticks for dipping.
