If you like sushi, sashimi, ceviche, or fish crudo, or even if you just like beautiful, delicious, easy things to make, this garlic shrimp aguachile is for you. Aguachile, or "chile water," uses lime juice to "cook" the shrimp, or, if served immediately, to just make the shrimp taste fabulous. And you are going to serve it on tortilla chips, so if you weren't tempted already, now you certainly are.

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups cilantro leaves
  • 3 cloves garlic , sliced
  • 0.5 chiles pepper , sliced, or to taste
  • 0.33 cups lime juice
  • 0.33 cups water
  • 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoons white sugar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine cilantro, garlic, serrano chile, lime juice, water, salt, pepper, and sugar in a tall cup or the jar of a blender; blend with a stick blender or regular blender until smooth. Refrigerate aguachile while other ingredients are prepared.

  2. 2

    Add shrimp, cucumber, and red onion to a bowl, and pour in aguachile. Stir well, and press shrimp down into aguachile to cover. Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle aguachile with jalapeno slices and cilantro to garnish, and serve with tortilla chips.
