Method:

For the Shrimp

Step 1: If using wooden skewers, soak for at least 30 min to avoid them burning while grilling

Step 2:  Wash shrimp and thoroughly  pat them dry with a paper towel

Step 3: In a separate bowl combine remained of ingredients and whisk until fully combined

Step 4:  Add shrimp into the marinade, cover bowl and refrigerate for 15-60 min

Step 5: Thread shrimp onto the skewers

Step 6: Preheat grill to a medium heat and grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side more/less depending on the size of the shrimp. They will be finished when the inside is opaque and they start to curl. Make sure you do not over cook the shrimp! As it can change to a rubbery texture

Step 7: Serve HOT with a side of smashed potatoes!

For the Smashed Potatoes

Step 1: Submerge potatoes in a pot of water and add salt. Bring to a boil for 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes. They are done when they easily slide off a fork when pierced

Step 2: Once the potatoes are finished, strain them and let them cool for 5 minutes so they are easier to handle

Step 3: Preheat oven to 450 

Step 4: Using a potato masher or a fork, press down on the cooked potatoes keeping them in one piece. For crispier potatoes squish them thinner, for fluffier…. thicker!

Step 5: Combine remaining ingredients and whisk until fully combined. Using a brush, lather on the mixture onto of the smashed potatoes and let them bake until brown and crispy 20-25 minutes

Step 6: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve HOT!!!!
