Instructions

1

Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the shrimp for 2 minutes until just pink and opaque. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking, then drain and chop into small, bite-sized pieces.

2

In a chilled glass bowl, toss the shrimp with the fresh lime juice, minced serrano, and a generous pinch of sea salt. Let it macerate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to bloom.

3

Gently fold in the diced tomato, cucumber, red onion, and avocado. Be careful not to mash the avocado; you want distinct, creamy cubes.

4

Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime juice or salt if needed. The acid should be bright and sharp, balancing the richness of the avocado.

5

Plate in a small chilled bowl, garnish with plenty of freshly chopped cilantro, and serve immediately while cold.
