Prepare the white rice and let it cool. This will yield about five cups of cooked rice.
In a pot or pan, bring water to a boil and cook the squid for 30 to 40 seconds. Stop the cooking process by plunging them into ice water and set aside. Do the same with the prawns, changing the water each time.
Heat a good amount of oil in a pot and prepare a dressing with the onions, garlic paste, aji panca paste, aji amarillo paste and tomatoes.
Once the base is ready, add the white wine and let the alcohol evaporate. Add salt, pepper, oregano, and bay leaves. Pour in the broth and cook for 20 minutes, or until slightly reduced and thickened to a sauce consistency. Adjust the seasoning.
Turn off the heat and stir in the cooked peas, bell pepper, seafood, chopped cilantro, and cooked rice. Gently mix and gradually add the cream until you reach the desired consistency. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to taste. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Decorate with the scallops, previously seasoned with salt and seared for one minute in a very hot pan, preferably Teflon.

To prepare the roasted pepper, char the entire skin of the pepper over a stovetop flame. Place the pepper in a bag and refrigerate for a few minutes. Then, remove it from the refrigerator and discard the charred skin by hand. Once this is done, cut the pepper into cubes.
