Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 cups Spinach
• 1 cup Artichoke hearts
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 pound Shrimp
• 0.25 cup Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.75 cup Panko breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the russet potatoes into chunks. Boil them in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Let cool slightly.

Step 2

Steam or sauté spinach until wilted, then chop finely. Chop the artichoke hearts into small pieces.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, spinach, artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese, eggs, flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.

Step 4

Form the mixture into small patties about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Coat each patty lightly in panko breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the potato cakes in batches until golden brown and crispy on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 6

For the shrimp scampi, clean and devein the shrimp, leaving tails on if desired.

Step 7

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 8

Add shrimp to the skillet and season with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 9

Drizzle lemon juice over the cooked shrimp and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Remove from heat.

Step 10

To serve, place 2-3 potato cakes on each plate and top with shrimp scampi. Garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
