Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp. For the best results, use large, fresh shrimp that have been deveined and peeled.
- Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Cook them until they are just opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Make the salsa ahead of time. The salsa can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the shrimp and salsa with your favorite sides. Some popular options include rice, beans, tortillas, or chips.
Conclusion:
Fiesta shrimp and avocado salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover shrimp, and it is also a healthy and refreshing meal. With its vibrant colors and bold flavors, fiesta shrimp and avocado salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
