Ingredients
- ¼ cup lime juice
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 12 oz. tomato juice (spicy or regular)
- 1 jalapeno (seeds and ribs removed and diced fine)
- 2 ribs celery (diced fine)
- 2 medium tomatoes (seeded and chopped)
- 1 avocado (diced)
- ¼ cup cilantro (chopped)
- 1 pound 41-50 count shrimp (peeled and tails removed)
- 1 tsp kosher salt (to taste)
For serving:
- hot sauce, as desired
- oyster crackers, saltines, or tortilla chips
- lemon or lime wedges
- avocado slices
Instructions
- Bring a pot of heavily-salted water to a rolling boil. Add shrimp and cook for two minutes (do not overcook). Remove shrimp to a bowl of iced water and cool. Chop into ½" pieces.
