Ingredients

• 200 grams medium raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 0.5 cup red onion, finely diced
• 2 units Roma tomatoes, diced
• 1 unit jalapeño pepper, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 unit avocado, diced
• 0.5 cup corn kernels, cooked
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 bag tortilla chips

Directions

Step 1

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and cumin powder. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the heat and let them cool slightly.

Step 3

While the shrimp cool, prepare the citrus marinade by combining lime juice, orange juice, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 4

Chop the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a mixing bowl.

Step 5

To the bowl, add red onion, diced tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, avocado, and corn kernels.

Step 6

Pour the prepared citrus marinade over the shrimp and vegetables. Toss everything gently to combine, making sure the ingredients are evenly coated with the marinade.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed.

Step 8

Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips, or refrigerate for 20-30 minutes if you prefer it chilled.
