Preparation

Prepare the Base

In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent (about 5 minutes).

Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

Stir in the diced tomatoes and aji amarillo paste. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes break down slightly.

Combine Ingredients

Once the potatoes are tender, add the shrimp to the pot. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
