Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Shrimp
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add shrimp and cook just until they curl into a loose “C”—about 2–4 minutes depending on size. Drain and immediately submerge in ice water to stop cooking. Once cooled, cut into bite‑sized pieces.
Step 2: Combine the Fresh Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the cooked shrimp with sliced celery, jalapeño, cucumber, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and finely chopped onion.
