Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled and deveined, raw
- 3/4 cup lime juice fresh
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped, fresh
- 2 Serrano chilies stemmed and seeded
- 1/2 red onion thinly sliced, small
- 1 cucumber thinly sliced, medium
- 1 avocado sliced, ripe
- kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Butterfly the shrimp by slicing each one lengthwise and lay them flat in a single layer in a non-reactive dish.
- In a blender, combine lime juice, cilantro, serrano chilies, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth to create the aguachile marinade.
- Pour the marinade over the shrimp, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, allowing the lime juice to 'cook' the shrimp.
- Once the shrimp have turned opaque, remove from the refrigerator and garnish with the sliced red onion, cucumber, and avocado. Serve immediately.
