For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and veins from the habanero pepper before mincing. Adjust the amount to your spice preference. Ensure the seafood is very fresh for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen shrimp, thaw completely before using. Marinating time may vary slightly depending on the size of the seafood pieces. Check for desired firmness and opacity. Serve immediately after assembling to prevent the lettuce from wilting.

StepSoak the Onion: Place the sliced red onion in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes to mellow its bite. Drain and set aside.
