- In a large skillet, heat some olive oil or cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the pan and sauté for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
- Next, finely chop the cilantro, slice the limes and lemons into wedges and peel and slice your avocado. Set aside.
