Here's a recipe for scallop aguachile from Gran Electrica chef Sam Richman. At this Mexican restaurant in DUMBO, Richman (formerly of Jean Georges) serves market-driven dishes inspired by his travels throughout various regions of Mexico.
"I was introduced to this dish when I was in Mexico back in January, and my favorite version of the dish was in a Sinaloan restaurant in Mexico City, where shrimp were marinated in a puree of herbs, garlic, lime, and jalapenos, and tossed with lots of fresh cucumber and red onion to be scooped on top of a tostada," Richman says. "Here in New York, we have access to incredibly delicious, local day-boat scallop whose sweetness pairs well with the spicy, acidic, and herbaceous aguachile puree."
This dish has been one of the most popular items since the restaurant opened in spring.
