The lime juice adds a vibrant, tangy base while the mix of vegetables brings texture and balance. It’s naturally light but still satisfying, and easy to adjust depending on your heat preference.
Tips for Success

- Chop the shrimp into even pieces for the best texture.
- Let it chill long enough for the flavors to fully come together.
- Add the avocado just before serving if you want to keep it extra fresh.
How to Serve
Serve chilled with tortilla chips for dipping, or spoon it over homemade tortillas. It also works well as a topping for tacos or alongside grilled meats.
Storage Tips
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep in mind the avocado may brown slightly over time.
