Ingredients
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup broccoli florets
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 orange bell pepper, diced
2 tbsp butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt & black pepper to taste
Olive oil for sautéing
4 medium red potatoes, cubed with skin on
2 tbsp butter (for mash)
1/4 cup milk or cream
Salt & black pepper to taste (for mash)
Instructions
1. Boil cubed red potatoes until fork-tender. Drain and mash with butter, milk or cream, salt, and pepper.
2. Steam broccoli florets until bright green and just tender.
3. Sauté diced bell peppers in olive oil for 4–5 minutes. Add garlic and cook briefly.

Notes
Use large or jumbo shrimp for best texture.
Don’t overcook shrimp—they turn rubbery quickly.
Keep the potato skins for extra flavor and nutrition.
A sprinkle of lemon juice or parsley adds brightness.
