These fresh shrimp avocado and pink grapefruit cups are light, colorful and quick to assemble. The mix of creamy avocado, juicy grapefruit and tender shrimp makes a simple appetizer with a bright summer flavor.
Peel the pink grapefruit and remove the white membrane. Cut the segments into small pieces, keeping as much juice as possible for the dressing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
