Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and diced
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Boil or sauté the peeled and deveined shrimp until they are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
  2. Dice the Avocado and Mango: While the shrimp cooks, peel and dice the avocado and mango into bite-sized chunks, making sure they hold their shape for the perfect texture contrast.
  3. Mix the Fresh Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, diced avocado, diced mango, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with fresh lime juice and olive oil to add brightness and richness.
  4. Season and Toss: Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper over the mixture, then gently toss everything together, careful not to mash the avocado, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
  5. Serve Immediately or Chill: Serve the bowls right away for the freshest taste or chill for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld if you prefer a cooler dish.

Notes

  • Choose ripe but firm mango and avocado for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overcook shrimp; remove from heat as soon as they turn opaque to avoid rubberiness.
  • Lime juice prevents avocado from browning and enhances flavor.
  • Toss ingredients gently to keep avocado pieces intact.
  • Add crunchy ingredients like red onion or nuts just before serving to maintain snap.
