👩🍳 Directions:
1️⃣ In a bowl, mix the shrimp with olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
2️⃣ If using already cooked shrimp, chill it after seasoning. For extra flavor, quickly sauté the seasoned shrimp for 1–2 minutes, then let it cool completely.
3️⃣ In a large bowl, combine avocado, tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, corn, and pickled jalapeños.
4️⃣ Add lime juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and jalapeño juice if using.
5️⃣ Gently fold in the seasoned shrimp. Mix carefully so the avocado stays chunky.
6️⃣ In a small bowl, mix the optional creamy taco drizzle ingredients until smooth.
7️⃣ Spoon the salsa into a large glass jar. Add a little creamy drizzle on top if desired.
8️⃣ Chill for 15–20 minutes before serving.
