Ingredients
1-pound medium-small shrimp (peeled and deveined)
2 Tbsp salt
4-6 limes
2-3 lemons
1 cup red onion finely chopped
1 hot Chile ribs and seeds removed, minced
1 cup chopped cilantro
1 cucumber, peeled diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 avocado, peeled, seed removed, cut into 1/2-inch chunks


Method
1 In a large pot, bring to a boil 4-5 quarts of water, add 2 Tbsp salt. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 minute 30 seconds (for medium) and 2 minutes (for large). Remove shrimp and place into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.
