If using raw shrimp, fry in a hot pan for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until cooked through. Transfer to a salad bowl. If using pre-cooked shrimp, you can do the first step right in the salad bowl. No need to cook them again.
Add the avocados, onion, tomatoes, jalapeños and red peppers (if using). Drizzle with the lemon (or lime) juice, olive oil (if using), cilantro (or parsley), salt cumin and pepper.
Toss gently until evenly mixed through.
Taste and season with extra salt if needed, or an extra squeeze of lemon juice. Serve immediately with chips or veggie sticks for dipping.

Recipe Notes

For a creamier guacamole, continue mixing until reaching your desired consistency. If you want a mashed guacamole, feel free to smash the avocado with a fork, until reaching desired texture.
