Mango Avocado Shrimp Salsa
Description
This salsa features cooked and chopped shrimp tossed with chopped fresh mango and creamy avocado, alongside quartered grape tomatoes and diced red onion. Fresh jalapeño adds controlled heat, and cilantro and minced garlic contribute fresh herbaceous and savory notes. Lime juice ties the ingredients with bright acidity, while kosher salt and black pepper adjust flavor balance.
The texture is chunky and colorful, combining tender shrimp, juicy mango, creamy avocado, and crisp veggies. The combination of sweet mango and creamy avocado contrasts with zesty lime and mild heat from jalapeño. The salsa is stirred gently and can be made a few hours in advance, but avocado should be added just before serving for freshness.
Serve this salsa chilled with tortilla chips as an appetizer or casual snack. It could also accompany grilled seafood or chicken, adding fresh, lively flavors. The ingredients highlight the tropical sweetness of mango paired with the richness of avocado and protein from shrimp.
