Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and ensure that the shrimp, Wahoo, and calamari are cleaned and cut into appropriate sizes.

  2. 2

    Sauté Seafood

    In a large skillet or paella pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Then add the shrimp, Wahoo, and calamari. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the seafood is opaque and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In the same pan, add the rice and toast for 2-3 minutes. Then add the white wine and let it simmer for a minute. Stir in the aji amarillo paste and lime juice, followed by 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the rice is boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Add in the cooked seafood, white corn, and peas. Stir gently to combine and heat through for an additional 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
