- Stir well to blend the flavors together.

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.
