How to Make It :

Sauté That Bold Garlic Shrimp:

Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet. Add onions and cook until golden. Toss in shrimp, garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt & pepper. Sear until shrimp is pink and juicy—this is your flavor-loaded dinner win.

Boil & Smash the Potatoes:

Boil red potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. Mash with sour cream, butter, and pepper for a creamy texture dream that hits just right.

Steam That Vibrant Broccoli:

Steam broccoli until bright green and tender-crisp—add a pinch of salt or drizzle olive oil for easy healthy balance on your plate.

Layer It Up in Style:

Spoon the creamy potatoes into one side, pile on the shrimp and onions, and nestle broccoli to the side. Drizzle any leftover garlic butter from the pan for next-level flavor action.

Sprinkle & Serve:

Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and that home-cooked charm.
