Shrimp Preparation

1

Cook the Shrimp

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

Heirloom Potatoes Preparation

Cook the Potatoes

In a pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add cubed heirloom potatoes and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add butter, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat and keep warm.

Prepare the Hush Puppies

In a bowl, mix together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, combine beaten egg, milk, and chopped green onion. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Heat oil in a deep pan. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
