Instructions:

Squeeze 1 cup lime juice in a bowl (about 6 limes). Add shrimp and soak in lime juice for 45 min
Remove lime juice from shrimp and put in blender. Also add the following to blender: juice from 4 additional limes, garlic, ginger, cilantro, jalapeno, serrano, and salt/pepper.
You can blend half the peppers first and taste to see if you want it spicier. If it gets too spicy add more lime juice. Blend to liquefy

Slice red onions and place in bowl with water. This will take the bite out of them. Let this sit while you are prepping everything else (at least 10 min)
