Creamy, coconutty shrimp aguachile (Mexican ceviche)
"This aguachile is a creamy coconut version of the classic aguachile. The orange gives it a great freshness and you should enjoy it really cold from the fridge. Served with tacos or corn tortillas, it's the perfect summer meal. If you don't like shrimp you can also use any other white firm fish, like sea bass or dorado."
