World Cup Kitchen starts with.......Prawn Fajitas

The World Cup starts today June 11th and will be in our lives for good or bad for the next 30 days
 
I thought it would be a great idea to every day when I am cooking in the kitchen to cook something from one of the countries that is playing that day. During the week it will be something quick and easy and when I have a day off or the weekend I will do something a bit more complex.

Day 1

South Africa 1 Mexico 1 
France 0 Uruguay 0
