Citrus-Marinated Shrimp with Coconut

Kelaguen is as much a technique as it is a dish. It combines proteins—particularly seafood and beef, but also venison and chicken—with lime, onions, and chiles. As a process, to kelaguen is to lightly pickle proteins in a spicy, citrusy marinade, with added fresh coconut and cilantro. This dish often starts with raw meat, but this version uses blanched fresh shrimp and can be served with steamed rice alongside a green salad or on a tostada for a quick snack.
