# Steps:
01 - Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes until pink and opaque. Drain, transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking, then drain and pat dry. Cut into ½-inch pieces. If using pre-cooked shrimp, chop directly.
02 - Combine shrimp with lime, lemon, and orange juices in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to marinate and further 'cook' shrimp in citrus juices.
03 - Add diced red onion, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, jalapeño (if using), and chopped cilantro to the marinated shrimp. Gently toss to incorporate.
04 - Add sea salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix thoroughly to combine flavors.
05 - Fold in the diced avocado gently just before serving. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
06 - Divide into small bowls or glasses. Garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges. Serve with tortilla chips or tostadas if desired.
