Mexican lime-marinated shrimp with serrano, cucumber, red onion, cilantro and avocado.
About Aguachile
Aguachile is a traditional Mexican seafood dish associated with the Pacific coastal states of Sonora, Sinaloa and Jalisco. This profile follows Mely Martínez's shrimp version with serrano, cucumber, red onion, cilantro and avocado.
Fresh lime gives the dish sharp acidity, serrano brings clean heat, and cilantro, cucumber and onion add a cool herbal bite. Avocado softens the spicy citrus flavour while shrimp supplies a sweet marine note.
The shrimp are tender and glossy in a vivid green marinade, contrasted by crisp cucumber and onion and creamy avocado. It is served chilled and eaten promptly for its freshest texture.
