Ingredients
  

  • 2 avocados
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1.5 cups lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 serrano chile
  • 2 pinches of cumin
  • 3 pinches of pepper
  • 1/2 garlic clove
  • 1.5 pounds of shrimp
  • 1 red onion
  • 1/2 jalapeño chili

Instructions
 

  • Peel and devein the shrimp.
  • Butterfly the shrimp.
  • Marinate the shrimp in lime juice, salt, cumin, and pepper. Make sure to have enough lime juice to cover the shrimp. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes and mix occasionally to ensure the shrimp is evenly coated with lime juice. This helps “cook” it. You will see how the shrimp turns into a light pink color. If you have trouble covering shrimp in lime juice try using a shallow bowl.  While the shrimp marinates, prepare the other ingredients.
  • Peel and deseed the cucumber, then slice into half-moons.
  • Slice the onion into thin julienne strips.
  • In a blender, combine the lime juice used for marinating the shrimp with the serrano chili, fresh garlic, and cilantro. Blend until you have a completely liquid sauce, this is going to be our aguachile marinade.
  • Pour the sauce over the shrimp, then add the onion and cucumber.
