Avocado Shrimp Salsa Recipe (VIDEO)

This Avocado Shrimp Salsa Recipe is a cross between a pico de gallo, spicy guacamole, and shrimp ceviche. It’s our favorite salsa recipe of all time – such a treat! We have made it at least a hundred times (NO KIDDING!!).

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.

It is like a ceviche recipe because it has plump flavorful bites of shrimp, but different since the shrimp are pre-cooked. It has avocado with the perfect amount of creaminess, crunchy cucumber, tomatoes of course and fresh lime juice which pulls it all together.

The FRESH lime juice is key so don’t skip on it. That one ingredient adds enough flavor to the entire salsa where you don’t need any extra salt. Why is this awesome?? Your veggies will stay crisp (salt tends to soften cucumbers and tomatoes). Lime juice also preserves the avocado’s color so this salsa is still just as amazing refrigerated for the next day.

I am convinced that this is the perfect shrimp salsa recipe. Watch the video recipe below to see just how easy it is!

Avocado Shrimp Salsa Recipe Ingredients:

We love everything about this shrimp salsa recipe. It is such a treat and just the perfect combination of flavors. You can’t go wrong with these fresh summer time ingredients!

Can I use Raw Shrimp for Shrimp Salsa?

• Traditional Ceviche is made with raw shrimp that marinates for some time in the lime juice and the lime juice actually ‘cooks’ it from all the acidity.
• We cooked the raw shrimp before adding it to the recipe, but we have been known to use pre-cooked shrimp to speed up the process. With pre-cooked shrimp – rinse under cold water, pat dry with paper towels then chop.
• You can even use the small shrimp meat and skip the chopping step altogether! P.S. Click to learn how to peel and devein shrimp.

Mouth. Is. Watering!! I will never stop loving this shrimp salsa! We love serving it with this hot sauce (our Amazon affiliate link) Just drizzle it into your own bowl and refill as needed.

Instructions

• Season shrimp lightly with salt and pepper. Place a large skillet over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, add 1 Tbsp olive oil. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook 3 minutes total, turning once halfway. Saute just until cooked through then remove from the pan. Transfer to cutting board, coarsely chop and place into a large mixing bowl.
• Squeeze the juice of 3 medium limes over the shrimp, stir and set aside to marinate while you prepare remaining salsa ingredients.
• Dice cucumber, tomato and avocado and add them to the mixing bowl with shrimp.
• Finely dice onion and chop 1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro. Add to the mixing bowl then stir together all of the ingredients until well combined and serve. We love this served with hot sauce (such as Tabasco) and tortilla chips.

Notes
