Peel the shrimp, remove the veins, and split them lengthwise.
Slice the red onion thinly and soak it in cold water for 5 minutes.
Blend the lime juice, green hot peppers, cilantro, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the shrimp with the sauce on a cold plate and let them stand for 8 minutes, until opaque.
Thinly slice the cucumber and slice the avocado.
Arrange the cucumber, onion, and avocado over the shrimp.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
💡 Tip: The shrimp must be very fresh; if you are unsure, blanch them in boiling water for 60 seconds and chill them for a safer home version.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve on a cold plate with tortilla chips, avocado slices, and iced lemonade.
