1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 pound medium or small shrimp, peeled and deveined

3/4 cup lime juice (juice from 4 to 6 limes)

3/4 cup lemon juice (juice from 2 to 3 lemons)

1 cup finely choppedred onion

1 serrano chili, ribs and seeds removed, minced

1 cup chopped cilantro

1 cucumber, peeled diced into 1/2-inch pieces

1 avocado, cut into 1/2-inch chunks

Tortilla chips, for serving

Boil the shrimp: In a large pot, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil, salted with 1 tablespoon of salt. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 minute to 2 minutes max, depending on size of shrimp. (Over-cooking the shrimp will turn it rubbery.) Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and place into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.

Cut the shrimp, mix with lime and lemon juice: Drain the shrimp. Cut each piece of shrimp in half, or into inch-long pieces. Place the shrimp in a glass or ceramic bowl. Mix in the lime and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate for a half hour.

Mix in the onion and chile: Mix in the chopped red onion and serrano chile. Refrigerate an additional half hour.

Add the remaining mix-ins: Right before serving, add the cilantro, cucumber, and avocado. Serve chilled with tortilla chips.
