• 1 tsp green hot chili peppers, serrano-variety, minced (or to taste)
• 1 Tbsp olive oil, extra-virgin
• 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 2 tsp lime zest
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp sugar

Notes
Using precooked shrimp is a great timesaver in this dish but feel free to substitute leftover cooked shrimp in its place.
If you’d rather cook your own shrimp, either steam, grill or saute them until pink and cooked through (time varies by size of shrimp). Just be sure to chill the cooked shrimp well before coarsely chopping and tossing with the other ingredients
