What You Need

  1. Stir the parsley, 2 tbsp olive oil, the vinegar, a grated garlic clove if you have one, and a pinch of salt into a chimichurri.

  4. Warm the arepas in the toaster on high, 2-3 cycles.
  5. Top each arepa with corn and shrimp and spoon over the chimichurri.

About This Recipe

Chimichurri is Argentina's table sauce — chopped parsley, garlic, oil and vinegar, served with anything off the grill. On shrimp and sweet charred corn it tastes like a summer asado.
