Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a blender, add the chopped jalapeño (for verde) or chipotle in adobo (for rojo), olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the shrimp are ready, drain some of the lime juice and mix in the sliced cucumber, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Pour the sauce over the mixture and toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately in a chilled bowl, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
