Peel the shrimp, dice the potatoes, and cut the corn into thick rounds.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and hot pepper.
Soften the onion in vegetable oil for 5 minutes, then add the garlic, hot pepper, and tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the potatoes, corn, rice, salt, and 6 cups of water, then cook for 22 minutes.
Add the peas and milk and warm the soup over low heat for 6 minutes without boiling.
Add the shrimp and cook for 4 minutes until pink.
Crack the eggs into the soup and cook gently for 3 minutes, then serve with white cheese and cilantro.
💡 Tip: Add the shrimp at the very end; if they boil too long, they turn firm and lose their sweet sea aroma in the milky soup.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve chupe de camarones in large bowls with lemon, cilantro, and optional plain cornbread instead of fried bread.
