Ingredients
Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Mashed Potatoes
- For the mashed potatoes
- 600 grams potatoes
- salt
- freshly ground peppers
- 70 grams Whipped cream
- 3 Tbsps butter
For the mashed potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut into small pieces. Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with salted water and boil until knife-tender, about 25 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return to the hot pot to dry. Add the butter and cream, and mash the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
For the shrimp skewers: Peel and finely chop the garlic. In a bowl, whisk the garlic with the oil. Season with lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
Rinse the shrimp, pat dry and brush with the oil mixture. Thread 3 shrimp onto each skewer and brush with more marinade. Cook on a grill, while brushing with the marinade, until cooked through, about 6 minutes. Drizzle with the remaining lemon juice before serving.
For serving: Divide the mashed potatoes and shrimp skewers between 4 plates.
