Garlic Butter Spice Shrimp With Mashed Potatoes Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Toss the shrimp, snap peas, garlic, thyme and olive oil in a large bowl; set aside.
• Put the potatoes in a pot and cover with water by 1 inch; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add the buttermilk, 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mash, gradually adding the reserved cooking water as needed. Stir in 1 tablespoon chives.
• While the potatoes are cooking, spread the shrimp and snap peas on a baking sheet. Broil until just cooked through and charred in spots, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Dot the shrimp and snap peas with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and sprinkle with the lemon zest. Toss until the butter melts and the mixture is well coated; season with salt and pepper. Divide the potatoes, shrimp, snap peas and any juices from the baking sheet among plates. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon chives.

Steps:

• Heat mashed potatoes according to package directions.
• Cook garlic in butter on low heat for 1-2 minutes just until they release their oil. Add garlic and butter to a pot with chicken broth, taco seasoning, cumin, garlic, & the rest of the butter. Heat to boiling. Add shrimp & heat through.
• Spoon a mound of mashed potatoes high into the center of a soup bowl. Fill surrounding area with shrimp and broth. Serve with crusty french bread.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove shells from shrimp if they are still on. Pat dry shrimp on paper towels, if they're at all wet, the sauce will be runny.
• Place butter in a large glass baking dish and place in the oven for 5 minutes. Take it out and add salt, garlic, and 1 tbsp of the parsley. Stir it up and then place shrimp on top of this butter mixture in a single layer. Bake this for another 5 minutes, uncovered.
• Remove the dish from oven, turn over each shrimp, sprinkle with the lemon juice and the remaining parsley. Return it to the oven and bake it for an additional 8 minutes.
