  • 3/4 cup peeled, seeded, and chopped cucumber
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped, seeded jalapeno
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped ginger
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, plus 1/4 cup for serving, if desired
  • Juice of 5 limes (about 1 cup)
  • Juice of 2 lemons (about 1/2 cup)
  • Juice of 1 orange (about 1/2 cup)

  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 avocado, pitted, peeled and sliced (optional)

Instructions
  1. Chop the shrimp into thirds or bite-size pieces, or leave them whole if you prefer, and place in a large bowl.
  2. Add the red onion, celery, tomatoes, cucumber, jalapeno, garlic, ginger, cilantro, lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, white pepper, and sugar and stir well.
  3. Transfer into an airtight container and refrigerate overnight. While the mixture marinates, occasionally turn the container to evenly coat the shrimp in the liquid.
