Instructions

1
Make aguachile sauce: In a blender, combine lime juice, 1/3 cup water, garlic, green and white onions, cilantro, jalapeños, and cumin. Blend until smooth. Season to taste and set aside.
2
Place shrimp in a pot and just cover with water, add salt and bay leaves and bring to a boil.
3
Allow shrimp to cook until just tender and fully cooked, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to an ice bath for just a few seconds to stop the cooking process.
4
Drain shrimp, roughly chop and place in a bowl along with diced cucumber, red bell pepper, and tomatillos. Season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
5
Pour aguachile sauce over everything and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow everything to marinate.
6
Serve with chips as a snack or as a meal on top of tostadas.
