Mexican Green Aguachiles 🍤🌿

Butterfly the shrimp:

Slice the peeled shrimp in half lengthwise to butterfly them, allowing the citrus juice to "cook" them more quickly.
Marinate the shrimp:

In a bowl, combine the shrimp with the lime and lemon juice. Add a pinch of salt and stir to coat the shrimp evenly. Let the shrimp marinate in the fridge for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Prepare the Green Sauce:
Blend the sauce:
In a blender, combine the lime juice, water, serrano peppers, garlic, fresh cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the salt and heat as needed.
Assemble the Aguachiles:
Combine shrimp and vegetables:

Once the shrimp are "cooked" in the citrus juice, add the thinly sliced cucumber, red onion, and some chopped cilantro. Stir to combine.
Add the green sauce:

Pour the blended green sauce over the shrimp and vegetables. Toss gently to coat everything in the sauce.
Chill and marinate:

Let the Aguachiles marinate in the fridge for another 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Serve:
Garnish and serve:
Serve the Aguachiles cold with sliced avocado on top for extra creaminess. Garnish with additional cilantro and serve with tostadas or tortilla chips for dipping.
Enjoy the fresh, tangy, and spicy flavors of Mexican Green Aguachiles, perfect for a light and refreshing meal or appetizer! 😋
