Looking
for the perfect date night meal (you know Valentines is this week
right??) and let's face it, spending $150+ on a dinner in a noisy
restaurant with the 200 other couples treating themselves is a tad
overrated. Don't shoot the messenger y’all!

Plus,
there's nothing more attractive to me than a guy that can cook.
Luckily I snatched one up! I think our meals are even more delicious
when we work together to make them. Just like for this one.... he
manned the grill with the steaks while I took on the shrimp and
potatoes.
For
the shrimp marinade
Ingredients
10 large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails on
1 tablespoon of Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb seasoning

the smashed potatoes

Directions
Go ahead and combine all the ingredients for the shrimp marinade and the steak marinade (keeping the shrimp and steaks separate obviously). Let the flavors combine for about 30 minutes in the fridge. Take out of the fridge and bring them back to room temperature.

Cook
the shrimp on a med-low pan for 3 minutes each side until they turn a
pink color. Cook steak on the grill based on thickness and desired
temperature. This is a good chart
to decide on how long you should grill for. Make sure you let the
steak rest for at least 5 minutes before eating.
Now
for the potatoes! Put potatoes in a pot of water and bring to a boil.
Reduce it to a simmer and cover to cook for 20 minutes. If you can
stick a fork into it at the end, it's good to go. Drain potatoes from
water and put back in a pot. Mash with a potato masher (or in my case
a dough cutter but a spoon would work too) roughly. You want to leave
some of the potatoes still intake for this recipe. Add milk, butter,
minced garlic and salt and pepper to taste-- mixing thoroughly.
Enjoy!
