Generally, equity isn’t a part of the process unless under specific circumstances. I see it more in startups, where the salary is lower, if anything. I’d find other items to negotiate on first.
I've never thought about asking for equity. Well, I've never worked for a company that offered equity. But if a company offers equity, I would think asking about it would be pretty normal.
Most places don't offer it in my experience so that is probably why the recruiter acted shocked. However, it is still fair to ask for it. The worst they can say is no.

How do you know if they offer equity? I need to learn more about that piece of it.

Most do not offer equity. It is common with Executive-level positions and for startup companies, however.
Just depends on their compensation plan.
Only a huge desire to work there can make you loyal to the organization, and when they see this, they themselves will give you everything you want.
