Notes

Don't overcook the shrimp:  Make sure you don't overcook the shrimp to prevent a chewy and rubbery texture.

Meal prep: When meal prepping, store all the condiments in the fridge in different containers for up to two days.

Prevent the avocado from turning brown: If you're making this ahead, brush the avocado with lemon juice to prevent it from turning brown.
