Ingredients:
12-15 jumbo raw shrimp, peeled and deveined.
6 green onion stalks
About 15 cherry or grape tomatoes
Half a jalapeño, or as much as you like.
Half a lemon
Half a red bell pepper
1 avocado
Small handful of fresh cilantro
Method:
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add about 1 Tbsp of salt.
Turn off the heat and add the shrimp.
Let shrimp poach for two minutes and quickly remove from the water and place in the refrigerator to cool down.
While the shrimp is cooling, we can start chopping the vegetables.
Slice the jalapeño as thin as you can and place in a medium bowl.
Slice cherry tomatoes and green onions into coins and place in the bowl.
Dice the red bell pepper and avocado, place in the bowl.
Finely chop cilantro and add to the bowl.
Add fresh lemon juice to the mix. Start with 1/4 of a lemon and taste once everything is mixed together before adding more.
Cut each shrimp into three pieces and add to the mix.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the rest of the lemon half if it needs it.
Best enjoyed outdoors!
