- Instructions
- In a large pot, bring to a boil 4 quarts of water, salted with 2 T salt. Add the celery, orange, bay leaves & pepper. Then add shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes max, depending on size of shrimp (over-cooking the shrimp will turn it rubbery). Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and place into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.
- Drain the shrimp. Cut each piece of shrimp in half, or into inch-long pieces. Place shrimp in a glass or ceramic bowl. Mix in the lime and lemon juice, tomato juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and refrigerate for a half hour.
- Mix in the chopped red onion, serrano chile, cucumber, cilantro & avocado.
- Place it in the papaya and arrange the sliced cucumbers around.
- Right before serving, garnish with crispy banana & micro cilantro.
