El Chupe de Camarones es la sopa bandera de Arequipa, un plato principal robusto y lleno de sabor. Su base es un caldo rojizo y sustancioso, elaborado a partir de un aderezo potente de cebolla, ajo, ajíes peruanos (amarillo y panca) y huacatay, enriquecido con la esencia concentrada extraída de las cabezas y corales de los camarones. Dentro de este caldo nadan camarones frescos (enteros y colas), junto a una variedad de ingredientes andinos como papa amarilla, choclo (maíz tierno), habas, zapallo y arroz. El toque final de cremosidad lo aportan el queso fresco serrano y la leche evaporada, que se añaden justo antes de servir. Tradicionalmente, se corona con un huevo frito o pochado.
