1
Juice the limes, lemons, and oranges. Measure out three-quarters cup of lime juice, one-quarter cup of lemon juice, and one-quarter cup of orange juice. Mix the citrus juices together.
2
Reserve half a cup of the citrus juice mixture for later. Cut the shrimp into half-inch pieces and add them to the remaining citrus juice, making sure all pieces are completely covered by the liquid.
3
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes. The shrimp will change color and become firmer as the acid cures it.
4
While the shrimp chills, prepare the remaining ingredients. Finely dice the tomatoes into about one cup total. Remove the seeds from the jalapeño and finely dice it. Finely dice the red onion into about one-third cup. Chop the fresh cilantro into at least one-third cup.
5
Drain the cured shrimp from the citrus juice and discard the liquid. Add the jalapeño, red onion, tomatoes, and cilantro to the shrimp.
6
Add the sea salt and mix well. Pour in the reserved half cup of citrus juice and stir gently to combine.
7
Cover and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. The onion will mellow out and the shrimp will absorb more flavor.
8
Remove from the refrigerator and prepare a ripe avocado by halving it, removing the pit, and dicing it. Gently fold the avocado into the mixture just before serving.
9
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with additional lime juice, salt, or pepper. Serve immediately with tortilla chips on the side.
