Ingredients

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 large cucumber, peeled and diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 medium red onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 3 cups tomato juice (unsalted)
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 0.5 tsp hot sauce (optional)
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 large avocado, diced (for garnish)
• 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a medium pot of water to boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Drain immediately and transfer to an ice bath to cool. Once cooled, chop half the shrimp into bite-sized pieces, and leave the rest whole for garnish. Set aside.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, combine 1.5 cups of cherry tomatoes, half the diced cucumber, half the red bell pepper, red onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, and 1.5 cups of tomato juice. Blend until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the blended mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining diced cucumber, diced red bell pepper, chopped shrimp, olive oil, red wine vinegar, hot sauce (if using), kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Before serving, taste the gazpacho and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or vinegar, if needed.

Step 6

Ladle the gazpacho into bowls. Top each bowl with the reserved whole shrimp, diced avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley or cilantro.

Step 7

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side and crusty bread if desired.
