1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the peeled and deveined shrimp for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Drain and set aside to cool.
2
Slice the Vegetables
While the shrimp is cooling, thinly slice the purple onion and peel and slice the cucumber. Dice the avocados and set all the vegetables aside.

3
Blend the Sauce
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped serrano peppers, fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

4
Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled shrimp, diced avocado, sliced purple onion, and cucumber. Pour the serrano-lime sauce over the mixture and gently toss to coat all ingredients.
5
Chill and Serve
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
