Aguachile
Mexican dish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aguachile (lit. chili water) is a Mexican dish typically made of raw seafood.
History
The origin of aguachile lies in the coast of Sinaloa, originally made with boiled water and chiltepin, a type of small round chili peppers from Sinaloa.[1][2][3] This dish comes from the north west region of Mexico (mainly Sinaloa), and is normally prepared in a molcajete.[4][2]
Traditionally it is made of shrimp and raw fish fillet, submerged in liquid seasoned with chiltepin peppers, lime juice, salt, slices of cucumber and slices of red onion.[5]
