For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the shrimp before adding them to the salad.
If you don't have fresh cilantro, mint or Thai basil also work well.
Adjust the amount of chile pepper to your desired level of spiciness. A little goes a long way!
Make sure your grapefruit is perfectly ripe for the best sweetness.
