If you’ve been following Cafe Delites for a while now, you may remember this Shrimp Guacamole Salad I made you guys a couple of years ago. Wanting to reshoot it for so long, I instead opted to give you all my mother’s famous Chunky Shrimp Guacamole instead!

Ingredients

USMetric

Shrimp:

• ▢ 2 tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice
• ▢ 2 teaspoons garlic minced
• ▢ 1 pinch salt to taste
• ▢ 1 pinch pepper to taste
• ▢ 1 pound shrimp no shell and no tails, raw or pre-cooked is fine

Guacamole:

• ▢ 4 ripe avocados large, peeled, pitted, and diced
• ▢ ½ red onion medium, peeled and diced
• ▢ 1 cup grape tomatoes diced, or cherry or Roma tomatoes
• ▢ 1-2 jalapeños large, stemmed, seeded and finely - diced, adjust the amount to your spice preference
• ▢ ½ red pepper deseeded and chopped - optional

Dressing:

• ▢ 2 tablespoons lemon juice or lime juice
• ▢ 1-2 tablespoon olive oil optional
• ▢ ⅓ cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
• ▢ ½ teaspoon kosher salt or more to taste
• ▢ ⅓ teaspoon ground cumin
• ▢ 1 pinch cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

• Combine shrimp together with the lemon (or lime juice), minced garlic and salt and pepper, to taste.
• If using raw shrimp: fry in a hot pan until cooked through (about 2-3 minutes per side). Transfer to a salad bowl. 

  If using pre-cooked shrimp: you can do the first step right in the salad bowl. No need to cook them again.
• Add the avocados, onion, tomatoes, jalapeños and red peppers (if using). Drizzle with the lemon (or lime) juice, olive oil (If using), cilantro (or parsley), salt cumin and pepper. 
• Toss gently until evenly mixed through. For a creamier guac, continue mixing until reaching your desired consistency. For a mashed guac, feel free to smash the avocado with a fork, until reaching desired texture. (When doing this, we like to leave some avocado chunks in there.)
• Taste and season with extra salt if needed, or an extra squeeze of lemon juice. Serve immediately with chips or veggie sticks for dipping.
