Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Marinade

  • 1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Potatoes

  • 3 medium potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), diced

Additional Ingredients and Garnish

  • ½ jalapeno, sliced
  • Feta cheese, for garnish
  • Green onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes and spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, turning halfway through for even cooking.
  2. Marinate the Shrimp: While the potatoes bake, in a bowl combine the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, sliced jalapeno, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all shrimp are evenly coated with the marinade.
  3. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and sauté for 3-4 minutes on each side or until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Once the potatoes are baked and the shrimp are cooked, place the potatoes on a serving plate and top with the lemon shrimp. Garnish with crumbled feta cheese and chopped green onions for a fresh and flavorful finish.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your vibrant and satisfying Baked Potato with Lemon Shrimp meal.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, you can mash the baked potatoes instead of dicing and baking.
  • If you prefer less spice, omit the jalapeno or use less.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best bright flavor.
  • Feel free to substitute feta with goat cheese for a different tangy finish.
  • Enjoy with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
