Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, diced avocados, diced cucumber, chopped red onion, and chopped chilli pepper (if using).

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

3. Pour the dressing over the shrimp and avocado mixture. Gently toss to coat everything evenly.

4. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more lime juice, salt, or pepper according to your preference.

5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavours to meld together and chill.

6. Once chilled, give the salad a gentle toss again before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.

7. Serve the chilled shrimp and avocado salad as an appetiser or a light main course.
