After my trip to Mexico to see the bullfights (lo siento<\/em> P.E.T.A.), I was inspired to bring back more than just a hangover, I wanted something that represented the beauty and art of my Latina heritage. In my ojos<\/em> there is nothing more beautiful than a traditional coastal Mexican dish, so I brought one back to share with you.

Aguachile de camar\u00f3n<\/em> is one of my favorites. It translates simply to shrimp in chile water, which is why we call it aguachile de camar\u00f3n<\/em>. The original recipe calls for raw shrimp, but the curing (fridge time) process takes about 3 hours. If you don\u2019t have the time, you may modify the recipe using pre-cooked shrimp, which cuts down the curing time by about half.<\/p>\n

Por lo tanto, poner en su m\u00fasica de mariachi y vaya a la cocina para empezar a cocinar aguachile de camar\u00f3n.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ingredients:
1 avocado
1 bundle of cilantro
11\/2 english cucumber
1\/2 purple onion
1 pound fresh, head-on jumbo shrimp
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1\/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 to 3 fresh serrano chiles, sliced
1 package of tostadas
mayo optional<\/p>\n

Peel, devein, and butterfly the shrimp, leaving the tail intact but discarding the head. Sprinkle salt on shrimp, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1.5 hours (at least 3 for raw shrimp).<\/p>\n

Next, thinly slice the cucumber and onions and set aside in a serving dish.<\/p>\n

In a blender, combine the lime juice, olive oil, chiles, and 1\/2 of a cucumber. Process until smooth, then season to taste with salt.<\/p>\n

Once shrimp is done, add cucumbers and onions, tossing all together.<\/p>\n

Just before serving, drizzle the shrimp with the lime-chile sauce and re-toss.<\/p>\n

Serve on a tostada prepared with a thin layer of mayo.<\/p>\n

Garnish with sliced avocados, cilantro, and more lime-chile sauce.  <\/p>\n

I know what you\u2019re thinking. What should I drink with this? Don\u2019t worry, because I have the perfect pairing for this dish. This recipe has been handed down by generations of women in my family. I asked my Nanie what the name of this drink was, and I was told that it was so good that it did not need a name. Bullshit, I am now naming it Los Mujeres<\/em>. This drink can be served as agua fresca (without alcohol) or as a margarita.<\/p>\n

How to make a LOS MUJERES:<\/p>\n

Ingredients:
1 cucumber
2 cups of freshly squeezed lime juice
1 bundle of mint leaves
1 cup of ice
Agave syrup (add to taste)
Tequila (strongly suggested)<\/p>\n

Mezclar<\/em> (blend) todos los ingredientes<\/em> and strain before serving. This drink is great because the cucumber masks both the flavor and smell of the tequila. Don\u2019t say I didn\u2019t warn you. <\/p>\n
