Shrimp

Spicy Tomato Marmalade

Garlic White Cheddar Mashed Potatoes

Method

Fried Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prepare Shrimp

    Soak the shrimp in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Coat Shrimp

    Remove shrimp from buttermilk, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge shrimp in the flour mixture until fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry Shrimp

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry shrimp in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Creamed Corn

  1. 5

    Cook Corn

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add corn, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

Spicy Tomato Marmalade

  1. 6

    Prepare Marmalade

    In a saucepan, combine diced tomatoes, sugar, red chili flakes, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Simmer over medium heat for 20-25 minutes until thickened.

Garlic White Cheddar Mashed Potatoes

  1. 7

    Boil Potatoes

    In a large pot, boil cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain.

  2. 8

    Mash Potatoes

    In a mixing bowl, combine hot potatoes with butter, minced garlic, white cheddar cheese, and milk. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
