Aromatic Peruvian Stewed Shrimp Soup

Assemble the ingredients: shrimp, bay leaf, onion, salt, water, carrot, coriander.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the shrimp and cook until stewed.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Peruvian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Peruvian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
