1

Start by filling a pan with water and bringing it to a boil over medium heat.

2

Once the water is boiling, add the cleaned and deveined shrimp. Cook them for 1-2 minutes, just until they turn pink. Remove the shrimp from the water and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.

3

Start by chopping the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a bowl.

4

In the same bowl, add the chopped onions, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeño, avocado, and cucumber. Pour in the lime and orange juice, then season with salt.

5

Gently mix everything with a spatula or spoon until well combined. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
