4 jalapeño peppers, sliced
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
½ cup tomato and clam juice cocktail (such as Clamato)

Combine shrimp, juice of 7 limes, and white onion in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until shrimp is opaque, about 12 hours. Drain, discarding accumulated juices.
Blend juice of remaining 7 limes with serrano; transfer to a large bowl.

Cook's Notes:
Make sure you fully "cook" the shrimp with lime juice. You can also cook them using heat.
Substitute fish for the crabmeat and shrimp if desired.
You can add other vegetables; some people like it with carrots.
