Saltado de Mariscos

Saltado de Mariscos is a delicious Peruvian dish that blends stir-fry techniques from Chinese cuisine with the rich flavors of fresh seafood. Similar to the popular Lomo Saltado, this dish substitutes beef with a variety of seafood like shrimp, squid, octopus, and mussels. The seafood is stir-fried over high heat with ingredients like red onions, tomatoes, aji amarillo (Peruvian yellow chili), garlic, and soy sauce. The stir-frying process creates a savory sauce with a smoky flavor, and the seafood remains tender and flavorful. Saltado de Mariscos is typically served with white rice and fried potato wedges, which soak up the delicious sauce, creating a perfect balance of textures and flavors. The dish is a great example of chifa cuisine, the fusion of Chinese and Peruvian flavors.
