Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeño Rellenitos

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. In a bowl, mix cream cheese and chopped cilantro until smooth. Stuff the jalapeño halves with the cream cheese mixture and place them on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Toss with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake in the oven alongside the jalapeños for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat garlic butter over medium-high heat. Add the jumbo shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.

Serving

  1. 4

    Plate the Dish

    Arrange the cooked shrimp on a plate with the jalapeño rellenos and crispy potatoes. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the shrimp and serve immediately.
