Step 1
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Slice each shrimp in half lengthwise for faster curing.
Step 2
Pour lime juice into a bowl. Add shrimp, jalapeño, and red onion. Stir gently.
Step 3
Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Shrimp will turn opaque and firm — this is the "cook."
Step 4
Divide shrimp and curing liquid between bowls. Top with cucumber slices and avocado.
Step 5
Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with the lime juice in the bowl.
