Aguachile is a Mexican dish 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.[1] This raw seafood dish comes from the north west region of Mexico (mainly Sinaloa), and is normally prepared in a molcajete.[2][3] The origin of aguachile lies in the coast of Sinaloa, originally made with boiled water and chiltepines, small round chili peppers from Sinaloa.[4][3][5]
