Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup carrot, chopped

1 cup cauliflower florets

1 medium yellow onion, diced

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, thyme, basil)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed

½ cup milk (or plant-based milk)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mash:

    - In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot.

      - Add 2 tablespoons of butter, milk, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and set aside.

        Sauté the Vegetables:

          - In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.

            - Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian herbs. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer the veggies to a bowl and set aside.

              Cook the Shrimp:

                - In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.

                  - Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and mix well.

                    Assemble the Bowl:

                      - In serving bowls, start with a generous scoop of the veggie mash at the bottom. Layer the sautéed shrimp on top, followed by the sautéed vegetables.

                        - Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and an extra lemon wedge if desired.

                          Serve:

                            - Enjoy your Garlic Butter Shrimp & Veggie Mash Bowl warm!
