1
In a medium bowl, combine the diced shrimp, ginger, habanero, lime, shallots, and a pinch of salt.
2
Put on a pair of food-safe latex gloves to protect your hands from the chiles heat, then lightly massage the mixture until juices form at the bottom of the bowl.

Take about a fifth of the marinated shrimp mixture and put it in a blender.

Puree for 30 seconds.

Add the cilantro.
7
Put the lid on the blender jar but leave the feed hole open.
8
With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil until the mixture achieves a glossy consistency, like a thick salad dressing.
9
Turn the motor off and taste the puree, adding additional salt and lime juice as needed.
10
It should be well seasoned, with a bright acidity.
11
Pour the puree back into the bowl with the shrimp pieces and toss with a spoon until well combined.

Cover the bowl and set aside in the fridge for at least 30 minutes and as long as 4 hours.
