Supplies

1lb Raw Shrimp (tail off deveined)

3 Tomatoes

2 Cucumbers

1 Large Onion

1 Bunch Cilantro

4-7 Serrano chiles

5 Limes

3 Cans of El Pato Sauce (yellow cans)

 Add 4 cups of water and bring to a boil

Once water is boiling add shrimp to water until pink, about 2-3 minutes.

Drain water from shrimp, but make sure to reserve of the water for later.

Raise with cool water to stop cooking process.

Peel, hollow out the seed from the center of the cucumber and chop

Chop tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.

Chop serrano chiles (depending on your preference, remove seeds to make it less spicy, I personally prefer to keep the seeds).

Chop the shrimp into smaller bite size pieces.


 Mix all these ingredients into a large bowl.
