About this dish
Arroz con mariscos is an iconic Peruvian dish, showcasing the country's rich coastal flavors. It literally translates to "rice with seafood". Similar to Spanish paella, this Peruvian delicacy combines rice cooked in a flavorful broth with a variety of seafood such as shrimp, mussels, squid, and clams. The dish is flavored with "aji amarillo", a Peruvian yellow chili pepper that gives it a special touch and a beautiful color. Onions, garlic, bell pepper, white wine, and cilantro round out this seafood feast. Served hot, it is often garnished with a slice of lemon and accompanied by a spicy sauce made from "rocoto" or aji. Arroz con mariscos is a vivid testament to Peru's coastal culinary heritage, blending refinement with the flavors of the ocean.
