Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 ripe avocados, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 cup corn kernels (can use fresh, frozen, or canned)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes (about 1/4 cup)

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: 1 jalapeño, finely chopped for a spicy kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium saucepan, bring a sufficient amount of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the boiling water. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Once cooked, drain the shrimp and immediately submerge them in an ice bath (a bowl filled with ice water) to halt the cooking process. After a few minutes of cooling, drain the shrimp again and gently pat dry using paper towels.

    Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well emulsified. If you enjoy a bit of heat, stir in the finely chopped jalapeño for an added spicy kick.

      Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, carefully combine the cooled shrimp, diced avocados, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, corn kernels, and chopped cilantro. Use a gentle folding motion to mix the ingredients without mashing the avocados.

        Dress the Salad: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the shrimp and vegetable mixture. Gently toss everything together, ensuring that the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly while preserving the integrity of the avocado.

          Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the vibrant salad to a large serving platter or individual bowls. For an extra touch, garnish with additional chopped cilantro and lime wedges. This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but if you prefer, you can chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
