Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients: 1 lb good quality raw shrimp. (It's okay to use previously frozen shrimp); 1 jalapeño pepper or 2 serrano chilies if you like it more spicy (stemmed and cut into ¼ -inch pieces); ¼ cup fresh cilantro; 2 tablespoons water; 6 tablespoons fresh juice from 4 limes; Kosher salt; Freshly ground black pepper; ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion; 1 cucumber (thinly sliced); 1 sliced avocado; Tostadas or corn tortilla chips for serving

1

Slice the shrimp in half lengthwise and discard any veins. The process is to open it like a butterfly and not cutting all the way through.

2

Transfer to a large dish or bowl and cover with plastic. Refrigerate while we prepare the rest of the ingredients.

3

In a blender, add the chiles, cilantro, water & lime juice. Puree thoroughly.

4

Add the aguachile mixture to the shrimps. Add the red onion and cucumber at this point if you would like. Otherwise, you can just garnish it when serving.

5

Sprinkle some salt and pepper to taste then place in refrigerator for 10 to 20 minutes.

6

Serve right away topped with sliced avocado, cucumbers and red onion. Eat with tostadas, tortilla chips, or saltines.
