Cut the cooked shrimp into small pieces and place them in a bowl.

Chop half of a red onion, one tomato, and half of a cucumber, and add them to the bowl with the shrimp.

Chop the cilantro last to keep it fresh, then add it to the bowl.

Cut the scotch bonnet pepper into several slits and chop it up, adding about a quarter tablespoon to the mixture.

Squeeze the juice of four large limes into the bowl.

Add half a teaspoon of kosher salt and mix everything together.

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning, adding more salt if needed.

Optionally, add some scotch bonnet pepper powder for extra spice.

Finally, toss in the diced avocado and mix gently.
