This Aguachile Will Make You Feel Like You’re on a Beach in Puerto Vallarta

Similar to ceviche, this dish is typically served cold. With its bright citrus and peppery flavors, it’s the perfect lunch or dinner for those hot summer days.

Shrimp in any form is a big deal in my home. My whole family is from Nayarit, one of the few states in Mexico known for its incredible seafood. And while there isn’t just one dish that the state is known for, aguachile is definitely in the top three. In this dish, the shrimp typically isn’t cooked but more so cured with lime juice and salt. As the shrimp cure, they become tender and rapidly change in color turning a beautiful light pink color.
