I love this dish.  I started making it a few weeks ago when our fish purveyor introduced wild-caught Red Argentinian Shrimp.  Their color is so vibrant that they immediately made me think of the bright green contrast of herbs… a green sauce with the promise of spring!  We’ve been enjoying them with the simply sautéed potatoes you see here.

Serves two very happy diners.
