Calories: 156kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 10-12 limes)
- 1 pound raw shrimp (fresh or frozen - see notes for frozen), peeled and deveined
- 1 cup Clamato juice
- 1 ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 4 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1 cucumber, peeled and diced
- 4 large jalapenos, seeded and diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 small red or white onion, diced
- ⅓ cup finely chopped cilantro
- tortilla chips or saltine crackers for serving
Instructions
- Add the lime juice and the Kosher salt to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Cut the shrimp into small, bite-sized pieces (just under a ⅓" dice), transfer to a large glass or plastic bowl, and pour over the lime juice. Switch to a narrower container, like a large measuring pitcher, if the shrimp are not completely covered in the lime juice.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (8-24 hours), or until shrimp are pink, opaque in the center, and semi-firm in texture.
- The next day, add the Clamato, Kosher salt, tomatoes, cucumber, jalapenos, avocado, onion, and cilantro to the bowl and gently stir to evenly mix. Cover and refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes more.
- Serve chilled with hearty tortilla chips, saltines, or tostadas.
