Ingredients

1 lb shrimp * see notes
¼ cup orange juice fresh squeezed
¼ cup grapefruit juice fresh squeezed
¼ cup lemon juice
⅓ cup lime juice
1 grapefruit peeled and diced
1 orange peeled and diced
⅓ cup red onion diced
1 cucumber diced
1 Jalapeño diced
¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
½ tsp salt or salt to taste
1 avocado diced

Instructions

Juice your citrus, grapefruit, orange, lime and lemon into a bowl with salt. Next, clean and shell the shrimp. If using frozen raw shrimp, please be sure it is very high quality otherwise place it in a pan and sauté for 2 minutes on each side.
If using cooked shrimp, be sure it is shelled and defrosted. Chop into bite sized pieces. Place into the citrus mix and let it marinate for 25 minutes covered in the refrigerator.
Finely chop the cucumber, jalapeño, cilantro, red onion and the oranges, and grapefruit. Set aside until the shrimp is "marinated" in the citrus. The citrus lightly cooks the shrimp.
Add all the chopped veggies and herbs to the shrimp bowl and mix well. Add in chopped avocado if using and serve. Note: the longer the mixture soaks together the better it will taste, if you have the time to let it sit for 30 - 1 hour do it. Serve with tortilla chips.

Notes

*If using raw shrimp, be sure it is high quality shrimp to avoid any bacteria. You can also use thawed cooked shrimp if you'd like.

*I use medium sized shrimp, any size will work as long as it's around 1 lb or a little more.
