Servings: 4
Makes 3 1/2 cups.
Zesty lime juice and cilantro are the key ingredients to creating this light and refreshing salad, no heavy
mayonnaise to weigh it down. Made with the freshest ingredients; jumbo shrimp, avocados, tomatoes, red
onion, cilantro and chopped jalapeño tossed with some freshly squeezed lime juice and a touch of olive oil.
This will be a huge hit at your Cinco de Mayo fiesta or summer bash! Serve this as is for an appetizer, or
over lettuce o tostadas for a lunch or light meal. You can easily adapt this to suit your taste by adding more
or less cilantro, jalapeño etc. If you plan on making this ahead of time, you can combine all the ingredients
except for the avocado and cilantro and keep this refrigerated, then add them right before serving. This
easily doubles for a large crowd.
Shrimp is low in fat and calories, but tends to be naturally high in sodium so if you are on a restricted sodium diet, you may want to limit your shrimp intake. Moving forward, I will be posting the sodium info on new recipes without the salt as most foods contain sodium. If you use salt be sure to adjust the nutritional info.
Ingredients:
1 lb jumbo cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined, chopped*
(*Weight after shrimp has been peeled. )
1 medium tomato, diced
1 hass avocado, diced
1 jalapeno, seeds removed, diced fine
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 limes, juice of
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
salt and fresh pepper to taste
Instructions:
In a small bowl combine red onion, lime juice, olive oil, pinch of salt and pepper.
Let them marinate at least 5 minutes to mellow the flavor of the onion.
In a large bowl combine chopped shrimp, avocado, tomato, jalapeño.
Combine all the ingredients together, add cilantro and gently toss.
Adjust salt and pepper to taste
