Aguachiles verdes

Aguachiles verdes is a refreshing Mexican dish that typically includes shrimp marinated in lime juice for a tangy flavor. To prepare it, start by marinating 1 lb of shrimp in 1 cup of lime juice, seasoned with salt and pepper. Adding julienned red onion and cucumber not only enhances the flavor but also adds crunch. The accompanying salsa, made of fresh cilantro, your choice of jalapeños or serranos for heat, 1 garlic clove, additional cucumber, more lime juice, and a splash of Salsa Maggie, brings a vibrant taste to the dish. Aguachiles is often served as an appetizer or a light meal, making it a popular choice for gatherings, particularly during Lent. The freshness of the ingredients combined with the acidity of lime creates a dish that is both healthy and delicious. Enjoy Aguachiles verdes with tortilla chips for a perfect balance of flavors!
