Things have gotten a little out of hand in our house over this salsa. We’re so obsessed with this and have probably made shrimp salsa a hundred times (I kid you not). Over time, we’ve been tweaking our original shrimp salsa to incorporate more veggies. The avocados take this shrimp avocado salsa way over the top! Between the Mr and I, we scarf down a 6-8 serving-sized bowl. Yeah…
You know the crazy cool part? There is no added salt in this recipe which means your tomatoes and cucumbers wont get squishy. There is also no oil or added fat, making this a skinny shrimp salsa. It’s zesty and delicous and you won’t miss the salt one bit! Serve it with hot sauce if you like a good kick to your salsa (we sure do!).
We’re participating in the OXO and NFI Shrimp Council’s shrimp showdown! Eastern Seafood Company sent us 5 lbs of Large shrimp and OXO provided all the fantastic tools for preparing them. We put both to good use! 🙂
It is important to check the source of your shrimp! The Eastern Fish Company sent us shrimp that is chemical-free and wild caught from the waters of Mexico! They source their shrimp in an environmentally friendly, sustainable way. Huge thank you for the gorgeous shrimp!

Click here for a quick video on how to peel and devein shrimp. For a great recipe on boiling your own shrimp, click here. See, I thought about you this week and I answered the “how did you?…” questions. 😉
1. Chop cooked shrimp and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Squeeze lime juice over shrimp, stir and let marinate while you chop the rest of your ingredients.
2. Dice cucumber and add to the bowl (don’t stir until all the ingredients are in). Dice tomatoes and add to the bowl, then add finely diced onion. Top with avocado and finally the chopped cilantro.
3. Stir everything to combine and serve. We love eating this with a boat load of hot sauce and tortilla chips.

Just as everyone else has said, this salsa is loved by everyone, every time I make it!! Have been making it all the time and can never seem to get enough!! Like you, I have never had a bowl make it to the next day!! Every recipe of yours that we have tried, have become favorites in our house!!! Thanks for all the work you do to bring them to us!!
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review Barbara!
I made this some time ago and was wonderful. How much ahead of time can you make and quality still be there?
Hi Lynda, We love it so much that we’ve never had leftovers to test the max lifespan of this recipe :). I think it would work a day ahead 🙂
Hi Lynda, you can make the entire batch a day ahead, cover and refrigerate and it will be completely delicious (just as good if not better, the next day!)
So tasty! Didn’t think the cucumbers would taste so good with this mix! I like sodium so I added salt to this and I like jalapenos so I added that too and it was freaking awesome!! Will definitely make this again!!
Hi Martha! I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
We LOVE this salsa!! I make it for lunch, dinners, and any party we might be having…. I have even made it as a dish to take to someone else’s party and everyone raved about it there!! It is my favourite way to have a light, fresh summer time meal as well… but now for mid-winter, I am going to have it for watching the football games this weekend as well…. can’t wait… YUM!
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this with me, Barbara! Sounds like you definitely found a favorite!! Thank you for that great review!

You’re welcome Debra! I’m glad to hear the recipe is such a hit. Thanks for sharing your fantastic review!
Loved the salsa. Fixed it twice so far. Do you have the calorie break down? Thank you.
I’m glad you enjoy the recipe Julie! Due to time constraints, I don’t typically include nutritional info, but check out this nutrition analyzer – you can plug in the ingredients from any recipe, select the serving size and it will give you nutritional info, calories, etc. I hope that is helpful to you!
Made this today as a trial run to serve at my girls game night. Althou has the potential for a great appetizer seemed a little flat tasting. Thinking a little salt may help.
Hi Lynda, I’m not sure if this helps, but it helps to season the shrimp when cooking and then making sure you don’t skimp on the lime juice.
Yes that should help. Thank you for the response. My girls group will really enjoy this recipe.
I love anything with shrimp in it! I can’t wait to try this! I could see putting this in a taco shell as well with a little bit of sour cream, to switch it up once in a while! Thank you for your great recipes!!!
My pleasure Courtney! That sounds like a great idea! Please let me know what you think of the recipe!
I loved it! I made it yesterday and had some. Then I had some for lunch today at work! Thank you for taking the time to respond to my comments!
My pleasure Courtney! Thanks for sharing your great review!
