Ingredients
- Tomatoes
- 4 medium, diced
- Red onion
- 1 small, finely chopped
- Fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup, chopped
- Jalapeno
- 1, finely diced (adjust for spice preference)
- Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Shrimp
- 1 pound, peeled and deveined
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Tortilla chips
- 1 bag, for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, chopped cilantro, diced jalapeno, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a fresh pico de gallo. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
- While the pico de gallo is resting, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Once hot, add the shrimp, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
- Remove the shrimp from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Once cooled, chop the shrimp into bite-sized pieces.
- Gently fold the chopped shrimp into the pico de gallo mixture, ensuring everything is well combined and flavors are evenly distributed.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips for dipping, or refrigerate until ready to serve for a refreshing cold snack.
Tips
- For an added kick, consider marinating the shrimp in lime juice, garlic, and chili powder for 30 minutes before cooking.
- This dish pairs beautifully with a refreshing margarita or a light Mexican beer.
- For a vegetarian version, you can substitute shrimp with diced avocado or grilled corn.
