Ingredients:
Instructions:

- Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped onion, lime juice from 2 limes, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Stir well to blend the flavors together.
- Once the shrimp are cool enough, add them to the mixing bowl with the lime juice mixture.
- Add the diced avocado, chopped tomato, and sliced jalapeno peppers to the bowl.
- Gently toss all the ingredients together until they are evenly mixed and coated with the lime juice dressing.
- Sprinkle the chopped coriander leaves over the salad as a garnish.
- Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- This salad is best served immediately to retain the freshness of the ingredients. Enjoy as a light and refreshing main dish or a flavorful side.
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: For the best flavor and texture, make sure to use fresh shrimp. If using frozen, thaw them properly before cooking.
- Adjust the heat: If you prefer a less spicy salad, reduce the number of jalapenos or remove the seeds. For extra heat, leave the seeds in the jalapenos.
- Prepare ingredients in advance: To save time, chop the onion, tomato, and jalapenos, and cube the avocado in advance. This will make the assembly process quicker and easier.
- Serve immediately: This salad is best enjoyed immediately after preparation to keep the avocado fresh and prevent it from browning.
- Garnish with coriander leaves: Adding freshly chopped coriander leaves at the end gives the salad a fresh, herbaceous flavor that complements the other ingredients perfectly.
This Lime Shrimp Avocado Salad with Jalapenos and Tomatoes is a delightful mix of flavors and textures that is sure to impress. Whether you're serving it for lunch, dinner, or as an appetizer, this dish is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Enjoy the perfect balance of tangy, spicy, and creamy elements in every bite!
