Ingredients:
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb baby gold potatoes, quartered into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced into thick wedges
- 2 cups water
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
Instructions:
- Place quartered potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5–7 minutes until the edges are soft but the centers still have a slight bite.
- Drain potatoes through a fine-mesh strainer and pat thoroughly dry to ensure they sear rather than steam.
- Toss the shrimp with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
- Heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a wok until shimmering. Add potatoes in a single layer; let sit undisturbed for 3 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms, then toss and repeat for another 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same wok, add the onion wedges. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until the edges are slightly charred. Remove and set aside.
- Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the wok and sear shrimp in batches over high heat until just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Melt unsalted butter in the wok over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley.
- Return the seared shrimp, golden potatoes, and charred onions (and optional cherry tomatoes) to the wok. Toss quickly to coat in the butter garlic glaze and serve immediately.
