Hello Everyone,
Here is a Mexican Recipe for you to try.
๐ฎ๐น Aguachile
Aguachile is a popular Mexican appetizer which is similar to ceviche. Shrimp is marinated in a lime juice, but with the addition of chili and coriander. It's a delicious appetizer that is very easy to cook.
Ready in: 45 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients
500 Grams raw Shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
2 Limes
generous pinch Salt
ยผ of a Red Onion, very thinly sliced
Splash White Vinegar
Marinade:
250 ml Fresh Lime Juice
1 Garlic Clove
Half of a Large bunch Coriander
2 Jalapeรฑos, sliced in half lengthwise
1 Serano Chili, sliced in half lengthwise (optional)
1 teaspoon Salt
Garnish:
Cucumber slices
Avocado slices
Radish slices
Olive Oil
Coriander Leaves
Tortilla Chips or Mini Tostadas
1. Slice the shrimp in half lengthwise and remove any veins or tails. Place in a shallow serving dish in one layer if possible.
2. Squeeze with enough lime to cover the shrimp. The lime will cook the shrimp, turning them slightly pink. Sprinkle with a little salt.
3. Turn shrimp over as needed to cook both sides in the lime juice. This will take about 20 minutes.
4. Thinly slice the red onion, place it in a bowl and season generously with salt. Pour just enough water to cover the onions. Add a splash of white vinegar to enhance and bring out the red color of the onion.
5. Make the Aguachile marinade. Place the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, for a full minute, scraping down sides as necessary.
6. Pour the marinade over the shrimp and toss to coat.
7. Drain the onions and scatter them over top, mixing them in slightly. Add cucumber or radishes if you like. Refrigerate 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
8. When cold and ready to serve, taste to adjust the salt. Add avocado slices to the top, scatter with fresh coriander over and an optional drizzle of olive oil. Serve with tortilla chips or mini tostadas on the side.
