Ingredients
- 1 pound high-quality raw shrimp peeled, deveined, tail removed, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup lime juice
- 1 cup English cucumber chopped
- 1 cup Roma tomato seeded and chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1/2 cup red onion diced
- 1 tablespoon Jalapeno pepper diced
- 1 head of butter lettuce washed and full leaves pulled off
- 1 avocado sliced or diced
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt to taste
Instructions
- Chop shrimp into even-sized small pieces and add them to a large mixing bowl. Add the lime juice, ensure all shrimp are covered and then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it aside in the fridge and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, chop the cucumber, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapeno. Trim and wash the lettuce and set aside.
- After 15 minutes, check the shrimp. Ensure that the shrimp is "cooked" and that it is no longer gray and is instead pink and transluscent.
- If shrimp is cooked, add veggies and mix well. Season with salt and then add diced avocado and mix.
- Serve in lettuce wraps and enjoy!
Notes
- Substitutions
- Substitutions
- Shrimp: In place of fresh shrimp, you use frozen shrimp by defrosting the shrimp in a bowl of cold water before chopping. You can also use rockfish, sole, or another semi-firm white fish.
- Cucumber: We prefer English cucumbers for this recipe because they are firmer and have fewer, smaller seeds.
- Tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are our favorite because they have a firmer flesh and fewer seeds.
- Lime Juice: While you can of course use fresh lime juice, we recommend using lime juice concentrate. It ensures a certain level of citric acid. You could also use a combination of lime juice with lemon and orange juice, too.
- Lettuce: Use butter, romaine, or another favorite for lettuce wraps.
- "Cooking" Tips
- "Cooking" Tips
- Be sure that the shrimp turn pink and translucent and the shrimp is no longer gray. Sometimes it takes longer for the shrimp to "cook" and all of the gray to be gone, especially if using fresh lime juice.
