It’s being declared the best ever World Cup. The Argentinian soccer team made a historical triumph against France at the climax of the 2022 FIFA World Cup!
Of course we have to honor Argentina for this great stride. We made Argentine Red Shrimp with Argentinian style potatoes. Argentine Red Shrimp come from cold waters in the South Atlantic. They are hard to come by. They are found in the deeper seas and taste sweeter, much like lobster. So, it’s special, just like the Argentinian soccer team.
We are going to pair these suculent shrimp with Red Chili Roasted Potatoes. Argentine red chili is smoky yet not too spicy. It is rich in flavor and accents this dish beautifully.
