# Ingredients:
01 -
1-2 fresh jalapeños, finely chopped.

1 ripe avocado, diced.

1 pound of cleaned, peeled, and deveined shrimp.
04 -
A pinch of salt to your liking.
05 -
2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice.
06 -
Optional: Add hot sauce if you want some extra kick.
# Instructions:
01 -
Pop the shrimp into boiling water and let them cook just until they turn a nice pink color and look solid, which will take about two minutes.
02 -
Toss the cooked shrimp with the lime juice, jalapeños, and diced avocado in a bowl.
03 -
Let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour so the flavors can come together nicely.
04 -
Spoon the mixture into individual cups, top with some extra shrimp for garnish, and serve with lime slices and chips on the side.
# Notes:
01 -
Cooking the shrimp until they’re just pink and no longer translucent is key.

Letting the mixture chill in the fridge improves the taste significantly.
03 -
Play with how spicy it is by adjusting how much jalapeño or hot sauce you use.
