Protein

Mashed Potatoes

Seasoning and Marinade

Method

Preparing the Marinade

  1. 1

    Mix Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate Proteins

    Divide the marinade into three portions. Use one portion to marinate the chicken breasts, one for the shrimp, and one for the steak. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Proteins

  1. 3

    Cook Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove and let rest.

  2. 4

    Cook Shrimp

    In the same skillet or on the grill, cook the marinated shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

  3. 5

    Cook Steak

    Sear the marinated steak on high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust time for desired doneness). Let it rest before slicing.

Making the Chorizo

  1. 6

    Cook Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the homemade chorizo until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

Preparing the Mashed Potatoes

  1. 7

    Boil Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.

  2. 8

    Mash Potatoes

    In a bowl, combine the drained potatoes, butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, create a bed of mashed potatoes. Arrange the grilled chicken, shrimp, and steak on top. Spoon the cooked chorizo over the proteins and garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.

  2. 10

    Enjoy!

    Serve hot and enjoy your delicious mixed grill!
