World Cup: Team USA Crepe Recipe

USA! USA! Team USA advances despite Germany defeat. It's a major feat for the U.S to be able to snag its place in the last-16 of the World Cup after duking it out with one of the tournament's toughest groups (Germany).

 Even though the US suffered a momentary loss, team USA persevered. Despite the grisly, monsoon-like conditions, the US even put up a strong offense and endured Germany's strong defense with aplomb.

For the next game, the U.S will now travel to Salvador where they will come face to face with Belgium on Tuesday. For foodies out there, the big joke between the U.S and Belgium is: Hamburgers vs. Waffles. Hopefully you get the meaning before the big game

Anyways, before the big game this coming Tuesday, get your U.S apparel out. It's not only going to be a colossal game but it's also the perfect opportunity to have a small party at your home.  Since this is a great excuse to wine, dine, and shout at your TV screen, why not make delicious Scampi and Artichoke Crepes for your guests?

It's delicious, easy to make, and packs a powerful amount of protein to keep you going during the 90 minute game. It can be your delicious break.

Chef Gabriel uses the most beautiful crustaceans out there--such as lobsters, crabs, crayfish, and scampi--and assembles a remarkable platter. This delicious crepe recipe also uses an ample amount of artichokes and cauliflower for extra pizzazz. Click here for a video and written tutorial.
