Aguachile is a Mexican dish that’s made with shrimp, smothered in fresh lime juice, white vinegar, spiced garlic sauce. Translated to “shrimp in chile water,” you can think of this dish as a spicy ceviche!
This recipe is courtesy of Chef Saul Montiel of Cantina Rooftop in New York City. It’s sure to be one of the hottest rooftop destinations for celebrating Cinco de Mayo in Manhattan, where guests can sip libations and enjoy modern Mexican cuisine under the stars. The contemporary Mexican menu is adapted from the chef’s authentic family recipes.
The cuisine is as vibrant as the location, which is steps away from the Hudson River, with an expansive view of the city skyline. It’s climate controlled with a retractable glass rooftop for unobstructed viewing, no matter the weather.
The restaurant is a virtual fiesta of color, with a variety of individual and communal tables. And when the sun goes down, it truly is a fiesta as the space transforms into a nightclub with live music.
If you can’t make it to the restaurant, you can still enjoy some contemporary Mexican flare with this recipe for Shrimp Aguachile from Chef Montiel.
