About Aguachile

Aguachile is a vibrant Mexican dish originating from the coastal regions of Sinaloa. Traditionally made with raw shrimp, the dish is "cooked" using lime juice and combined with a zesty mix of chili peppers, cilantro, cucumber, and red onion. Served chilled, it often includes a side of crunchy tostadas or avocado slices. Packed with protein from the shrimp and loaded with fresh vegetables and herbs, aguachile is a nutritious choice, providing essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It's low in calories and high in flavor, making it ideal for light, refreshing meals. However, the sodium content can vary depending on added seasonings, and consuming raw seafood carries a minimal risk of foodborne illness. For a healthier twist, keep an eye on salt levels and ensure quality, fresh shrimp are used. Aguachile showcases the vibrant, health-conscious essence of Mexican cuisine while delivering a bold kick of flavor.
