First Stop- Chile

We closed our eyes and pointed at a map. The first place we landed on was Chile. After twenty minutes online, we found two appetizing dishes. The first was a shrimp recipe called Gambas Pil Pil. After crushing 10 cloves of garlic and letting them sautee in a pan with oil, we added 1 1/2 pounds of shrimp, with some sliced jalepeno pepper, a dash of cayenne pepper and three tablespoons of brandy.
The second dish was called Chapalelas. It's basically the Chilean version of the potato pancake. First, we made four cups of mashed potato. Then we added 1 cup of flour, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon butter, and two pieces of bacon that we crushed up. The original recipe called for pork rinds, but we swapped that out with bacon.
