Slice 1 pound of shrimp in half lengthwise and place in a bowl.

Add a little salt to the shrimp and mix well, then set aside for 15 to 20 minutes.

Slice a small red onion very thinly and place it in a bowl.

Cover the sliced red onion with 1 cup of water and add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar to reduce its bite.

In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, a splash of Worcestershire sauce, 3 garlic cloves, 3/4 cup of cilantro, 1 jalapeno, 1 serrano pepper, and a little salt. Process until blended.

Pour the marinade over the shrimp and mix well.

Add the soaked red onion, thinly sliced cucumber, thinly sliced radish, and fresh chili peppers to the shrimp mixture and stir to combine.

Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
