# How to Make It:
01 - Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes until pink and opaque. Drain and transfer immediately to an ice bath to halt cooking. Drain again, pat dry, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. If using pre-cooked shrimp, chop directly.
02 - Combine shrimp with lime, lemon, and orange juices in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to marinate and further cook shrimp in citrus juices.
03 - Add diced red onion, quartered cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, chopped jalapeño (if using), and chopped cilantro to the marinated shrimp. Toss gently to combine.
04 - Incorporate sea salt, black pepper, and extra-virgin olive oil. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute seasoning.
05 - Just before serving, gently fold in the diced avocado. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
06 - Serve chilled in small bowls or glasses, garnished with extra cilantro and lime wedges. Optionally, accompany with tortilla chips or tostadas.
