  1. In a bowl, combine the shrimp and lime juice. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes until the shrimp turn opaque.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for about 2-3 days, though the avocado may brown. Best served fresh. Variations include using pineapple or papaya instead of mango, or substituting shrimp with hearts of palm or canned chickpeas for a vegan option.
