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.
Step 2
Steam the 1 cup broccoli and 1 sliced carrot until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
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.
Step 4
Plate the mashed potatoes, top with the vegetables and grilled shrimp. Drizzle any pan juices over the top and serve hot.
Step 5
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if you have them.
