Aguachile is a fresh and vibrant Mexican seafood dish, similar to ceviche but with a bolder, spicier flavor. It typically features raw shrimp or fish marinated in lime juice, chili peppers (such as serrano or jalapeño), and cilantro.
The marinade is added just before serving to preserve the bright flavors. Crisp cucumber, red onion, and sometimes avocado provide balance and freshness. Traditionally served with tostadas or tortilla chips, aguachile is a refreshing dish that perfectly represents the bold flavors of Mexico’s coastal cuisine.
