Transfer to a cutting board until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Chop the shrimp into 1/2-inch pieces and place in a medium nonreactive bowl.

Add lemon, lime and orange juice. Stir in cucumber, onion and chiles.

Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Stir tomato, avocado, chopped cilantro, oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the shrimp mixture.

Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with cilantro leaves, if desired.
