How to Make Shrimp Avocado Grapefruit Cups

Prepare the grapefruit

Peel the pink grapefruit and remove the white membrane. Cut the segments into small pieces, keeping as much juice as possible for the dressing.

Cut the avocado

Halve the avocados, remove the stones and dice the flesh. Drizzle the avocado with a little lime juice right away to keep it fresh and bright.

Season the shrimp

Place the cooked peeled shrimp in a bowl. Add olive oil, the remaining lime juice, chopped herbs, salt and black pepper. Toss gently so the shrimp stays whole.

Assemble the cups

Divide the avocado, grapefruit and shrimp between small glasses or cups. Add a little grapefruit juice if you want a more refreshing finish. Chill for 10 minutes before serving.

Conclusion

Shrimp avocado and pink grapefruit cups are easy to prepare and elegant enough for a summer starter. They are best served cold, shortly after assembling, so the avocado stays fresh and the shrimp keeps its delicate texture.
