The shrimp chupe is one of the most representative dishes of Peruvian cuisine, especially from Arequipa. It is a thick soup made with shrimp, potatoes, corn, fresh cheese, milk, and eggs.
In this recipe, we show you how to prepare it step by step with simple ingredients, following the traditional version.
