Notes:

Poached Shrimp- you can poach your shrimp at home or buy store bought cooked shrimp. Personally you can control the texture and flavor of your shrimp if you poach it on your own.

Aji Amarillo- is semi spicy pepper paste used in Peruvian cooking, if you are unable to find this you can substitute your favorite hot sauce and experiment with the right dose or omit it completely.

Chifles- thinly sliced plantain chips, again homemade is better but store bought will do the job.
