Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound raw shrimp
  • cup fresh lime juice
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice, divided
  • cup English cucumbers, diced
  • cup red bell pepper, diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, minced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed, minced
  • 1 Haas avocado, diced
  • 5 cherry tomatoes, diced
  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • There are two ways you can prepare the shrimp. This recipe uses fresh wild caught raw shrimp that is essentially “cooked” in the acid from the lime and lemon juices.
  • If you’re not comfortable using raw shrimp, you can poach the shrimp first, just be sure to slightly undercook them, otherwise the citrus will overcook them as they marinate.
  • Cut the shrimp in small pieces no larger than ½ inch each. Add the shrimp, jalapeño pepper, red onion, red bell pepper, garlic, cilantro and salt to a shallow bowl.
  • Pour the lime juice and half the lemon juice over the top and toss to combine. Cover and allow to marinate in the fridge for 4 hours or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
  • Strain the juice, discard half and pour the other half into a mixing cup. Add in the remaining lemon juice and olive oil, then whisk to combine.
  • In the bowl with the shrimp, add in the cucumber, cherry tomatoes and avocado.
  • Pour the lemon/lime juice mixture over the top and gently toss to combine and serve in lettuce cups, over a salad or with your favorite tortilla chips, lettuce cups or tortillas.
