Smashed new potatoes with garlic scapes, shrimp and broccoli


Smashed new potatoes with garlic scapes

Cut up scrubbed new potatoes (estimate 2-4 small potatoes per person) and one cut up garlic scape per serving and cover with water. Drain, and just cover again with water (the first round helps eliminate some of the starch from the potatoes). Cook over medium high heat until fork tender. Drain. Mix in a splash of milk and 1 oz. per serving of goat cheese. Smash with a potato masher. Sprinkle with Hawaiian black lava sea salt.

Garlicky shrimp

Put 1 tablespoon of butter into a non-stick frying pan and combine with 2 tbsp. sodium free seasoning blend (I use a Kirkland organic blend - a Costco product) and 1 pound of thawed shelled shrimp. Stirring gently, cook until shrimp turn bright pink.

Serve shrimp and potatoes with fresh steamed broccoli. The extra sauce from the shrimp makes an excellent topping on both the broccoli and the potatoes.
