Step 1
Make salsa criolla: toss red onion with 2 tbsp lime juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.
Step 3
Add shrimp and mussels, sauté until shrimp turns pink and mussel shells start to open, 3–4 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Simmer 2 minutes until mussels fully open.
Step 5
Stir in cooked rice, ají amarillo paste, and remaining 1 tbsp lime juice. Toss gently over medium heat for 2 minutes.
Step 6
Divide rice between bowls, top with cilantro, and serve with salsa criolla on the side.
