Appetizers play an important role in the Peruvian cuisine. Since most of the main dishes are also quite light and easy on your digestion, appetizers often afford to be more consistent. Here are some of the grilled appetizers you can expect to find in a Peruvian meal: Skewered Spiced Peruvian Beef and Chicken (Anticuchos), Cured and Pecan-Smoked King Salmon with Hot Sauce, Grilled Shrimp Cocktail Mazatlan-Style, Margarita-Grilled Shrimp and Avocado Quesadilla, New Mexican Three-Chile Wings of Fire, Hot Vegetable Dip (Slata Mechouia). The variety of appetizers is huge and the diversity is also interesting, as each of Peru’s main culinary regions has its own set of favorite appetizers.
