Tips:

- For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp and ripe avocados. If possible, buy shrimp that are already cleaned and deveined to save prep time.

- After cooking the shrimp, chill them in the refrigerator for a while before combining them with the other ingredients. This helps to keep the cocktail cool and refreshing.

- To keep the avocado from browning, cut it just before serving, and make sure to toss it in some lemon juice.

- Before serving, taste the cocktail and adjust the seasoning (salt, pepper, and lemon juice) as needed to suit your preference.

- This dish is best served immediately after assembling to maintain the freshness and texture of the ingredients.
