Chupe de camarones is the Lima-Arequipa creamy river-shrimp chowder: prawns simmered with aji panca, potato, evaporated milk, queso fresco, choclo, rice and a poached egg per bowl.
A criolla colonial chowder built on the Arequipa river-shrimp catch and brought along the highway to Lima during the 19th century. The queso fresco-and-milk thickener is the limena innovation; the aji panca colour comes from the Andean foothills. The Wednesday lunch standard for criolla restaurants since the 19th century. Las Brujas de Cachiche, El Bolivariano and Punto Azul keep the dish in regular rotation through the Lima winter.
