Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil the 2 cubed potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and mash with 1 tbsp butter and a splash of the cooking water; season with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Steam the 1 cup broccoli and 1 sliced carrot until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Toss the 12 shrimp with 1 tbsp butter, 2 minced garlic cloves, salt, and pepper. Grill in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.

  4. Step 4

    Plate the mashed potatoes, top with the vegetables and grilled shrimp. Drizzle any pan juices over the top and serve hot.

  5. Step 5

    Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if you have them.
