Anyone looking for a simple, healthy(ish), refreshing snack?  I was and had just bought some shrimp the other day, so I decided to make this recipe. I actually found this recipe sitting in my work’s lounge in a binder that was promoting healthier lifestyles/habits/eating (I work for a hospital) and while most of the recipes were a bunch of different salads (boring…) this one actually stood out to me. I don’t have the actual recipe as I kind of saw the ingredients and riffed off that, so here goes.

Ingredients

• 1 lb peeled shrimp
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 2 small/1 large avocado, pitted and cut into small cubes
• 2-3 roma tomatoes, diced
• cilantro, chopped
• juice of 5 limes
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• In a pan over medium heat, add a tsp of oil and cook the shrimp thoroughly
• Cut the shrimp into small pieces and place in a large bowl
• Add the onion, avocado, tomatoes, cilantro and mix
• Add the lime juice and mix
• Salt and pepper to taste and mix again
• Refrigerate for ~15 minutes before eating
• Eat with tortilla chips or by itself (could potentially be a salad I suppose)
• Enjoy!
