If you’re after something quick, fresh, and a little unexpected, Avocado Shrimp Salsa is it. It takes everything you love about guacamole and levels it up with juicy shrimp, crunchy veggies, and a splash of lime. It’s the kind of dip that makes you pause after the first bite and go back for more.
This one is a crowd-pleaser for any kind of get-together, big game party, or easy snacking at home. The avocado keeps it creamy, while the jalapeño and cilantro give it a pop of flavor. Scoop it up with tortilla chips or even spoon it over grilled fish or chicken.
Helpful Tips
- Chop the shrimp small. Bite-sized pieces are easier to mix and scoop.
- Add the avocado last. It holds its shape better and stays fresher.
- Taste before chilling. Adjust the lime, salt, and pepper before letting it rest.
