Sinaloa-style recipe
Aguachile Verde de Camarón
Raw shrimp bathed in a fiery green sauce of lime, serrano, cilantro and cucumber, served ice cold with crisp cucumber and red onion.
Ingredients
- 1 lb very fresh large raw shrimp, peeled, deveined and butterflied
- 1 cup fresh juice of Latin Specialties Limes (10 to 12 limes), divided
- 2 to 4 Latin Specialties Serrano chiles, to taste
- 1 cup packed Latin Specialties Cilantro
- 1 large Latin Specialties Cucumber: half for the sauce, half sliced thin
- ½ red Latin Specialties Onion, sliced into thin rings
- Salt to taste
- Tostadas or saltine crackers, and sliced Latin Specialties Avocado, to serve
Method
- Place the butterflied shrimp in a shallow dish with ½ cup of the lime juice and a pinch of salt. Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes, until they just turn opaque.
- Blend the serranos, cilantro, half of the cucumber (chopped), the remaining ½ cup of lime juice and salt until smooth, and strain if you like a silkier sauce.
- Drain the shrimp and arrange them on a cold plate. Top with the sliced cucumber, onion rings and a few thin serrano slices.
- Pour the green sauce over the top, let it rest 5 minutes and serve right away, with tostadas and avocado.
TipUse only very fresh shrimp, kept cold the entire time. For a lighter bite of chile, remove the serrano seeds before blending.
