Ingredients

• 12 pieces small potatoes (Yukon Gold or baby potatoes)
• 12 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 1 piece lime, juiced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Wash and slice the small potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 3

Drizzle the potato rounds with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with half the salt and black pepper. Toss lightly to coat evenly, then spread them out again on the baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.

Step 5

While the potatoes are baking, prepare the shrimp. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and the remaining salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Toss the shrimp in this marinade and set aside for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 7

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the marinated shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink, opaque, and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 8

In another small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, and chopped cilantro to make the lime-cilantro sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

To assemble the appetizer, place a roasted potato round on a serving platter, top with a cooked shrimp, and drizzle with the lime-cilantro sauce. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
