If you like, you can slice the remaining serrano for garnish before serving. Serve with homemade chips, saltine crackers or tostadas.
Notes
I would suggest having all of your ingredients prepped before adding the fresh shrimp into the lime juice. It will be ready and the most tender in just a few minutes. The longer it sits in the lime juice, it will change the texture and become more chewy.
