Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Poach the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and drain the shrimp, then set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Avocado

    While the shrimp cool, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Dice the avocado and squeeze lime juice over it to prevent browning.

    Assemble the Dish

    In a serving bowl, combine the poached shrimp, diced avocado, pickled red ginger, and chopped basil leaves. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
