- Hey, it's Natasha of NatashasKitchen.com
and this is our favorite salsa of all time.
It's loaded with shrimp, avocado,
and one surprising ingredient.
We'll start with one pound of peeled and deveined shrimp.
Lightly season that with salt and pepper.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat
and add a tablespoon of oil.
Once that's hot, add the shrimp in a single layer
and saute for about three minutes total
or just until cooked through.
Remove the shrimp from the pan so they don't overcook.
Then coarsely chop them up and transfer
to a large mixing bowl.
(upbeat music)
Squeeze the juice of three medium limes
right over your shrimp.
Be sure to use fresh lime juice because it makes
all the difference.
Give that a stir and let the shrimp sit and marinate
while you chop the rest of your ingredients.
Dice half of an english cucumber,
and I'm using garden cucumbers here,
and add them to the mixing bowl.
(upbeat music)
Now dice three to four medium-firm tomatoes
and add them to the mixing bowl.
(upbeat music)
Now peel, pit, and dice two large avocados.
You can use medium avocados but I prefer the large ones.
And add them right to the mixing bowl.
There is no such thing as too much avocado.
(upbeat music)
You can't have a salsa without onion so finely dice
one small onion and add it to the bowl.
(upbeat music)
Onion pretty much always makes me cry but it is so worth it.
Last but not least,
chop and add half a bunch of fresh cilantro.
I am so excited right now
because all that's left to do is stir.
Make sure everything is coated in that super yummy
fresh lime juice 'cause that's where the flavor's at
in this salsa.
To be honest, I'm desperate for it
because this is my very favorite salsa of all time.
My husband and I eat this all the time.
The avocado makes it a little bit creamy
and it smells so good.
I love that the cucumber kind of bulks it up
and it tastes really good, adds a nice crunch.
Are you guys looking at this?
(laughs)
I know you wanna dunk a chip in here.
Okay, that's what I'm gonna do right now.
(upbeat music)
Oh.
Dunh dunh dunh.
Here we go.
Mmm.
That's so good.
(laughs)
The lime juice gives it such a fresh pop of flavor.
It's also really good with hot sauce.
So if you want to serve it with hot sauce,
if you like a little heat,
I would suggest that, that's what we do.
I hope you guys love this recipe.
I know you will because we're totally crazy about it
and how can you not?
Shrimp, creamy avocado,
tomatoes, cucumbers.
Everything about is good.
