Step 4
In a blender, place the chiles, lime juice, 3 tbsp of the water, half the cilantro and a teaspoon of salt.

Place shrimp in a shallow glass dish or ceramic bowl (not metal).
Step 7
Pour sauce over shrimp, stirring to mix well.

Marinate in the refrigerator 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the lime juice to “cook” the shrimp.

The outside of the shrimp will turn white and opaque when they are ready.
Step 10
Meanwhile, cut cucumber in half lengthwise.
Step 11
Scrape out seeds with a spoon and discard.
Step 12
Cut cucumber into 1/4 inch thick slices.
Step 13
Set aside.
Step 14
When ready to serve, spoon shrimp and sauce onto a serving platter.
Step 15
Layer the cucumbers and onions over the top or around the edges, or gently stir them into the shrimp mixture.
Step 16
Sprinkle with the remaining cilantro, cover and chill for 15 more minutes to blend the flavors.
Step 17
Garnish.
Step 18
Salt and black pepper to taste.
