Receta Causa limeña (Preparación Peruana).

Prepare the ingredients for causa limeña, including yellow potatoes, onion, orange juice, vinegar, shrimp, garlic, chili, mayonnaise, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, salt, pepper, lemon juice, olives, and rosemary.

Mix the yellow potato in a bowl with a good amount of olive oil and some lemon juice until smooth.

Reserve the potato mixture and soak the onion in vinegar and orange juice for about 5 minutes.

Sauté the shrimp in a pan with olive oil and garlic until they are cooked and dry.

Flambé the shrimp with brandy for added aroma.

After 5 minutes, drain the excess liquid from the onion to ensure it is dry.

Combine the sautéed shrimp, drained onion, sweet corn, and mayonnaise in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Begin plating the causa by applying a thin layer of the potato mixture using a ring mold, followed by a layer of avocado, and then another layer of potato mixture.

Add the shrimp filling on top, repeating the layering process as desired, ensuring the height is about 4 to 5 cm.

Finish the plating by cleaning the edges of the plate and adding mayonnaise on top.

Decorate the dish with guacamole sauce, olives, and optionally, bell pepper marmalade.
