In a large bowl, combine all of the remaining ingredients, except for avocado. Add shrimp and avocado. Toss gently to combine. Allowing the salsa to rest (in the refrigerator) for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld is recommended. Serve with tortillas, nachos, pita chips, or toasted baguette.
