Zesty Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad

The Zesty Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad features peeled shrimp mixed with diced avocado and tomato, enhanced by a marinade of lime juice, red onion, and olive oil. The lime juice softens the onion's sharpness while imparting acidity that balances the creamy texture of avocado. Finely diced jalapeño adds a mild heat without overpowering the fresh flavors.
