How long do I grill shrimp for the best texture?

Grill shrimp for about 2–3 minutes per side. Cook until opaque and lightly curled. Remove promptly to avoid toughness.

Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?

Yes. Thaw frozen shrimp in the fridge overnight or under cold running water. Pat dry before tossing with oil and seasoning.

Will the avocado brown if I make the salsa ahead of time?

Avocado will brown over time. Add lime juice and press plastic wrap directly onto the salsa surface to slow oxidation. Use within 24 hours for best color.
