CHUPE (PERUVIAN SHRIMP CHOWDER)



Chupe (Peruvian Shrimp Chowder) image

Chupe is a traditional Peruvian chowder made from zapallo and seafood. Zapallo is a very large, pumpkin-like squash; however, it is brighter and sweeter than a regular pumpkin. Because it is not widely available I've substituted a butternut squash which comes close in sweetness and texture. Some recipes call for cream cheese but I prefer feta, as it balances out the sweetness of the squash very nicely.

1 tablespoon aji panca chili paste (can substitute tomato paste if necessary)

1 cup evaporated milk
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
3 eggs

Steps:

  • NOTE: Aji panca, aji amarillo and queso fresco can be found at Hispanic markets. You may be able to find the cheese at a well-stocked grocery store as well.
  • Remove heads and shells from shrimp, and refrigerate the shrimp. Put shells and heads in a medium saucepan, add water to cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • While shells are simmering, heat the olive oil in a large flameproof casserole over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Stir in the aji panca (or tomato paste) and aji amarillo pastes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring often, for 10 minutes, or until onion is softened.

  • When eggs are cooked, soup is finished.

Tips:

  • Use the best quality shrimp you can find. Fresh, wild-caught shrimp will give your chowder the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your chowder. This will give your chowder more flavor and texture.
  • Use a good quality seafood stock. This will also help to give your chowder a rich flavor.
  • Season your chowder to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve your chowder with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
