Description

Aguachile, Spanish for "chile water", is a Mexican dish which typically uses shrimp. In this rendition, the shrimp is replaced with Acme Smoked Fish smoked salmon, but traditional elements such as chile peppers, lime juice, cilantro, and crunchy fresh vegetables remain. Aquachile, similar to ceviche, originated in the coastal regions of the Mexican state of Sinaloa. Acme's aguachile recipe was created with the help of Chef Maylin Chávez, a culinary specialist in coastal Mexican cuisine.
