A refreshing and flavorful shrimp salad with a zesty twist, perfect for any occasion.
Peel and devein the shrimp if not already done.
Ensure the shrimp is cooked just until opaque for the best texture.
Dice the avocado, cucumber, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
Use a sharp knife to maintain the shape of the avocado and cucumber.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, avocado, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro.
Gently toss the ingredients to avoid mashing the avocado.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Adjust the hot sauce to your preferred level of spiciness.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to keep the salad fresh.
Serve the salad in individual bowls or with tortilla chips on the side.
Garnish with extra cilantro leaves for a fresh look.
