Skillet Potatoes With Pesto And Shrimp Recipes

GARLIC ROASTED SHRIMP AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C)
• Chop potatoes into 1.5-inch sections. Try to keep them all the same size so they cook evenly. Dry very well with a paper towel (very important step)
• In a large bowl, add chopped potatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil (reserve 1 tablespoon of olive oil for shrimp and peppers) onions, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp cumin powder, salt and pepper and toss well. (reserve the other teaspoons of garlic powder, paprika and cumin powder for the shrimp and peppers) You can also do this step right on the baking sheet pan, if you do not want to dirty another bowl.
• Place seasoned potatoes and onion on a lined sheet pan in a single layer. (line your baking sheet with aluminum foil and you can thank us later as clean-up is a snap) Make sure there is no overlapping of potatoes.
• Bake potatoes and onions for 20 minutes and then toss. Place back in the oven to continue baking.
• In the meantime, Unthaw, peel and devein shrimp and remove tail. Dry well. Set aside. Chop your bell peppers.
• Toss your shrimp, bell peppers, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of cumin, salt and pepper together. At the 24 minute mark of baking, add your seasoned shrimp and bell pepper mixture to the roasted potatoes, toss and spread out in an even layer to continue roasting for 6-8 minutes or until the shrimp are no longer translucent.
• Test to make sure your potatoes are fork tender and your shrimp are no longer translucent. Your shrimp should be nice and pink. Remove from the oven. Enjoy!

SHRIMP AND POTATO SALAD WITH ARUGULA PESTO

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water and season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle boil and cook until fork-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon to a large bowl, leaving the water in the pot.
• Fill a separate large bowl with ice water. Return the pot of water to a boil, add the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and transfer to the ice water. Drain the beans again and add to the potatoes. Add the cherry tomatoes.
• Combine 2 cups arugula, 1/4 cup olive oil, the pine nuts, Parmesan, half of the garlic, half of the lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a food processor. Process until smooth. Pour the pesto over the vegetables and toss to coat.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the red pepper flakes and remaining garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add the shrimp, sprinkle with the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper. Cook, turning once, until pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Toss the remaining arugula, 1 tablespoon olive oil and the lemon juice in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Divide the arugula among shallow bowls and top with the vegetables and shrimp.
