Traditional Malaysian ingredients like lime, mango, and mint pair beautifully with shrimp in this refreshing, fruity salad. Using precooked shrimp is a timesaver in this dish but feel free to substitute leftover cooked shrimp in its place or cook your own. You can sauté or grill the shrimp until they turn pink; it only takes 2 to 3 minutes. Just be sure to chill the cooked shrimp well before coarsely chopping them and tossing with the other ingredients because this dish is at its best when served cold. Serranos are a relatively hot pepper, so if you prefer milder dish, use a jalapeño or Cubanelle pepper instead.
