Base Ingredients
-
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, chopped
- 1 mango, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 navel orange, segmented and diced (about 1 cup)
- 1/2 red onion, finely diced
- 1/8 cup chopped jalapeño (optional)
Shrimp
-
- 1 pound wild-caught, peeled, and deveined shrimp, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup lime juice
Final Additions
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the base ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the chopped grape tomatoes, diced mango, orange segments, finely diced red onion, and jalapeño (if using).
- Add shrimp and season: Stir in the shrimp and season with fine sea salt.
- Add lime juice: Pour the lime juice over the mixture and toss everything together until well-combined.
- Refrigerate and marinate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 20 minutes, allowing the lime juice to ‘cook’ the shrimp. The shrimp should appear opaque and take on a whitish or pinkish color, rather than translucent.
- Add final ingredients before serving: Just before serving, gently stir in the diced avocado and fresh cilantro, if adding.
Notes
- Using raw shrimp is safe as the lime juice ‘cooks’ it, but it does not kill bacteria. Use the freshest, highest-quality shrimp if opting for raw.
- If uncomfortable using raw shrimp, cooked shrimp works perfectly for this recipe.
- Alternatively, parboil the shrimp by dropping it into boiling water for 2-3 minutes until opaque, then transfer to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process.
