Arroz con Mariscos
Juicy seafood rice with aji amarillo, annatto and a Parmesan finish.

About Arroz con Mariscos
Arroz con mariscos brings rice and seafood together in a Peruvian coastal dish. Roberto Cuadra's recipe accompanies the publisher's memories of restaurant meals in Lima, with shrimp and squid forming this rendition's seafood.
Aji amarillo, tomato, oregano and bay season the base, while annatto oil contributes colour. White wine and fish stock carry the rice and seafood, and a little Parmesan rounds out the flavour.
Red pepper, peas and coriander finish the colourful rice. It is served very hot and juicy, with lime juice supplying the final bright note at the table.
