Ingredients

Marinade:

  • 1 lbs raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • season with salt and pepper
  • 3 lemons

Dressing:

  • 3 limes
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro - stems removed
  • 2 jalapenos, de-seeded
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Garnish with:

  • 1 cup Cucumber, sliced
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1-2 serrano pepper, thinly sliced
  • extra cilantro, chopped

Serve with:

  • Tostadas, or Tortilla chips

Instructions

  • 1. Peel, and devein shrimp. Wash and pat dry. Then slice shrimp in half (lengthwise). Place in a shallow dish, and season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the juice of 2 big limes or lemons over the shrimp. This will cook the shrimp, turning them slightly pink in color. Marinade in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
    2. Make the Dressing: Add the cilantro, jalapenos, salt, and lime juice into a high-speed blender, and blend until smooth.
    3. Pour the dressing over the marinaded shrimp, and toss to combine. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes, or more if you are preparing this dish for later.
    4. Right before serving, give it a quick stir, and check if more salt is needed! Then top with freshly sliced cucumbers, red onions, avocado, and thin slices of serrano pepper.
    Serve on a Tostada with extra hot sauce if desired, or with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
