Method

1
Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and set out a bowl of ice water. Poach the shrimp until pearly and opaque all the way through, about 2–4 minutes, then plunge into the ice water and drain.
-
2
Squeeze the limes. Blend the juice with the cilantro, salt and half of the serrano, taste, and add more chile if you want more heat.
-
3
Slice the cucumber and red onion thinly and toss them with the drained shrimp and the dressing.
-
4
Serve cold straight away, or chill for a few minutes so the flavors settle.
