Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
- 1 fresh English cucumber (301g), divided
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, divided
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh yellow onion (40g)
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 2 fresh jalapeno peppers (28g)
- 1 fresh serrano pepper (6g)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 clove fresh garlic
- 1 pound (16 ounces) large raw shrimp
- 2 large fresh radishes (18g)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 thin slices fresh red onion (36g, 9g each slice)
- 1/2 fresh avocado (100g)
Directions:
- Into a high powdered blender jar, add lime juice, half the cucumber (roughly chopped), ¾ of the cilantro leaves, chopped yellow onion, vinegar, seeded jalapeno, seeded serrano pepper, salt and garlic. Process until well blended. Measure out ½ cup, and place remaining lime mix in a medium bowl.
- Slice thawed shrimp in half lengthwise. Thinly slice remaining cucumber and radishes.
- In a large skillet over high heat, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil until shimmering. Add shrimp and cook undisturbed for 30 seconds, until shrimp are beginning to pink. Toss/ stir the shrimp until most are on their other side and cook another 30 seconds until shrimp are becoming opaque. Reduce heat to medium, add the reserved ½ cup lime mixture to the pan, and continue to cook until all the shrimp are opaque, about 1 ½ minutes more. Scrape into the bowl with the remaining lime mix.
- Add sliced red onion and sliced cucumber, stirring to mix and ensuring all the shrimp are covered in the lime mixture. Refrigerate until fully cooled, at least 40 minutes.
- Evenly divide between four bowls, about 1 cup each. Top each bowl with radishes (about 4 g), avocado (about 25 g), and remaining cilantro leaves, and serve chilled.
