  • 1/3 cup diced ripe mango*
  • 1/4 cup diced ripe avocado*
  • 2/3 cup diced seedless cucumber*

  • 1 tablespoon finely minced red onion
  • 1/2 tablespoon lime juice

  • salt & ground black pepper, to taste
  • minced fresh cilantro leaves, to taste

Directions:

  • Place the shrimp, mango, avocado, cucumber, bell pepper, and onion in a bowl. Toss lightly with a rubber scraper to intermingle the ingredients. Go easy so you don’t mush the avocado too much.

  • Eat with abandon.
