Method

For the Jumbo Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until melted and hot.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Garlic

    Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the jumbo shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Keep warm.

For the Rice

  1. 5

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice and salt. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  3. 7

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

For the Mashed Potatoes

  1. 8

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 9

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

  3. 10

    Serve

    Adjust seasoning to taste and keep warm until ready to serve.
