Creamy Potato Bowl with Sesame Shrimp and Garden Vegetables

Story

This colorful bowl layers velvety mashed potatoes with crisp-tender vegetables and sweet poached shrimp. The sesame peanut dressing brings everything together with a satisfying nutty richness.

Ingredients

Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed 300g

medium shrimp, peeled and deveined 8-10 pieces

carrot, peeled 1 medium

broccoli florets 1 cup

sweet corn kernels 1/2 cup

cherry tomatoes 5-6

butter lettuce or mixed greens, shredded 1 handful

sesame peanut sauce 3 tablespoons

unsalted butter 1 tablespoon

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

water or milk 2 tablespoons

Instructions

Cook the vegetable bases

Simmer the potato cubes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the carrot in a small pot until very soft, about 10 minutes. Drain both. Mash the carrot until smooth. Drain the potatoes thoroughly, then mash with butter and a splash of warm water or milk until silky. Season with salt and pepper.

Prepare the toppings

Steam the broccoli florets until bright green and just tender, 3-4 minutes. Briefly warm the corn kernels. Halve the cherry tomatoes and shred the lettuce. Set all vegetables aside to cool slightly.

Poach the shrimp

Bring a small pot of salted water to a gentle simmer. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Drain immediately and let cool.

Assemble the bowl

Spoon the creamy mashed potatoes into wide serving bowls as the base. Arrange the mashed carrot, shrimp, broccoli, corn, tomatoes, and shredded lettuce in colorful sections or rows over the potatoes.

Dress and serve

Drizzle the sesame peanut sauce over the entire bowl or serve it on the side for dipping. Toss gently at the table to combine, or enjoy the distinct layers as you eat. Serve immediately while the potatoes are warm.
