Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a medium bowl, combine the raw shrimp, lemon juice, and salt. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.

Jalapeno Mixture

  1. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced jalapenos, minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, and diced onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.

  2. 3

    Add the Shrimp

    Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Season with ground black pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  3. 4

    Finish with Cilantro

    Once the shrimp are cooked, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro until evenly distributed.

Garnish

  1. 5

    Serve

    Serve the jalapeno shrimp hot with lime wedges and avocado slices on the side for garnish.
