26 Aug Peruvian Seafood Chilli Linguini – “Tallarines a la Huancaina con Mariscos”
The Peruvian Seafood Chilli Linguini or “Tallarines a la Huancaina con Mariscos” is a fusion recipe between a traditional Peruvian dish “papa a la huancaina” a chilli sauce over potatoes, and an Italian dish such a seafood pasta. It’s a perfect dish to try here in Australia that we have a fantastic variety of seafood. We use some king prawns and scallops this time, but you can use whatever you have on hand.
The critical ingredient is to make a good stock with the seafood to achieve the marine flavour.

You can omit to do the stock and just use the fish stock for the recipe, but it will give a distinctive flavour if you do it from scratch. You just need all the carcasses from the prawns and fry them with some oil and salt. Add some wine and water a let it simmer for a couple of minutes. Process them and pass them thru a strainer to discard all the shells and pieces.
To make the chilli sauce (Peruvian Huancaina) you put the cheese, chilli paste, crackers and milk in a blender, blend it perfectly. Meanwhile, cook the pasta as directed in the package. In a saucepan, with a little oil fry the garlic and add the prawn and sautee them with salt. Put them aside and add the scallops just to seal them and also put them aside. Finally, in the same saucepan, pour the chilli sauce to heat it and add some of the stock you made to bring it to the consistency you like it. Add the pasta and seafood.
