Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds medium-size Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 to 1/2 cup half-and-half, at room temperature
2 small lemons, zested
2 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
2 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
12 ounces medium shrimp (about 30 per pound), peeled and deveined
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the potatoes: Place the potatoes, 2 tablespoons of the butter, garlic and 1 tablespoon salt in a large saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the garlic cloves. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Place the potatoes back into the saucepan. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the half-and-half. Using a hand masher, mash the potatoes until smooth. Stir in the zest, chives, parsley, thyme, the remaining1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Keep warm over low heat.
  • For the shrimp: In a medium nonstick skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Cook until the shrimp are cooked through, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp and set aside. When cool enough to handle, chop the shrimp into 1/2-inch pieces. Stir the shrimp and any pan juices into the potatoes.
  • Transfer to a bowl and serve.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I'm not a very experienced cook, so I had a hard time following the instructions.

The shrimp mashed potatoes were good, but not great. The potatoes were a bit bland and the shrimp was a bit tough.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my shrimp mashed potatoes didn't turn out as good as I expected. The potatoes were a bit dry and the shrimp was overcooked.
