If you’re a fan of paella or seafood risotto, then you’ll absolutely love Peruvian Arroz con Mariscos. This classic dish from Peru is a seafood lover’s dream, vibrant, flavorful, and packed with shrimp, mussels, squid, and fish, all cooked together with seasoned rice.
It’s like Peru’s answer to paella but with its own unique twist, thanks to the use of ají amarillo (yellow chili pepper paste) and chicha de jora (corn beer) or white wine.
