Hello Gena,
The menu for El Pollo Inka Peruvian Restaurant is here: El Pollo Inka
This is a Peruvian restaurant chain, and the seafood ingredients in this dish might vary slightly according to availability. It is basically a seafood stir-fry, and is said to have Chinese-influenced origins. "Saltado de Mariscos" is a mixed seafood dish with French fried potatoes that is served with garlic rice. A similar dish is "Tallarin de Mariscos," which omits the French fries and is served with spaghetti instead of rice.
These are the menu descriptions of these dishes:
Saltado De Mariscos: Sautéed fish, shrimp, squid, scallops, red onions, cilantro, tomatoes, green onions, and French fries. Served with garlic steamed rice.
Tallarin De Mariscos: Sautéed fish, shrimp, squid, scallops, onions, cilantro, tomatoes, red bell pepper, green onions, and spaghetti.
I did not have any success finding a recipe or a copycat recipe specifically for the El Pollo Inka recipe for "Saltado De Mariscos," but I did find a couple of generic recipes for the dish:
Peru Delights
Eat Wine Blog
The seafood ingredients may vary slightly from recipe to recipe. I saw octopus and mussels listed on some menus, and shrimp were omitted on another menu.
There is an aji verde sauce recipe here: Aji Verde Recipe
That Spanish Language video recipe that you mention is here, but it is beyond me to even attempt to translate it:
You Tube
I will post this for reader input.
