Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, 1 diced red onion, 1 diced cucumber, and 1/2 cup of chopped fresh cilantro.

   Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

Serve with tortilla chips, tostadas, or saltine crackers. You can add chopped jalapeño pepper if you want a spicy kick.
