For the Aguachile Marinade

Method

Prepare the Marinade

  1. 1

    Soak the Chili Peppers

    In a small bowl, soak the dried red chili peppers in hot water for about 10 minutes until they soften.

  2. 2

    Blend the Marinade

    In a blender, combine the soaked chili peppers (remove stems and seeds), lime juice, garlic cloves, cilantro, and salt. Blend until smooth.

Prepare the Aguachile

  1. 3

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, place the fresh shrimp and pour the blended marinade over them. Ensure the shrimp are completely covered. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes until they turn opaque.

  2. 4

    Prepare Vegetables

    While the shrimp is marinating, thinly slice the cucumber, red onion, avocado, and radishes.

  3. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the shrimp is marinated, gently fold in the sliced vegetables. Adjust salt to taste and serve chilled in bowls.
