Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup shrimp cleaned and deveined
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 onion
  • 2 jalapenos
  • 1 cup cilantro
  • 2-3 limes
  • 1 avocado
  • 1-2 garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cure the shrimp in freshly squeezed lime juice for 10-15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, slice the cucumber, avocado and onion.
  • In a blender jar, combine cilantro, garlic and jalapeno and blend into a smooth paste.
  • Combine the veggies and shrimp in a bowl and pour in the cilantro mixture.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp and make sure the shrimp is cleaned and deveined before curing.
  • Don't let the shrimp sit in the lime juice for much longer than necessary, as the texture can become firm or rubbery.
  • Keep everything chilled until you're ready to serve.
