Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Finely chop the 0.5 lb raw shrimp into small pieces. Place in a bowl and toss with the juice of 1 lime and 0.25 tsp salt. Let marinate while you prep the vegetables.

  2. Step 2

    Dice the 1 avocado and 0.5 red bell pepper into small cubes. Thinly slice the 2 green onions, keeping white and green parts separate.

  3. Step 3

    Add the avocado, bell pepper, and white parts of the green onion to the shrimp. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with 0.25 tsp black pepper. Gently fold everything together.

  4. Step 4

    Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime juice or salt if needed. Let the tartare sit for 5 minutes so the flavors meld.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately, garnished with the green onion tops. Enjoy with crackers, toast, or on its own.
