Ingredients:
1 stick of salted butter
Olive oil
13 oz of andouille sausage
1 lb of raw shrimp (defrosted, peeled, and deveined)
Cheese (shredded)
2 lbs of mashed potatoes
Chives
1–2 tbsp of jar garlic
Panko bread crumbs
Pearl onions
Directions:
1. Grate your cheese.
Go for medium shreds for a nice thick cut.
Grate as much as you plan to use. If you’re a cheese fiend, you’ll know what to do (grate a ton).
2. Prep your shrimp and sausage.
Chop up your sausage and remove the tails from your shrimp.
Add your andouille sausage, shrimp, and pearl onions into a mixing bowl.
Toss in a bit of olive oil to help your seasoning stick.
Add in Merman’s Revenge Blackened Seasoning to taste.
Shake it up!
3. Stir fry your shrimp and sausage in a hot pan.
Toss everything from the mixing bowl into a hot pan set to medium-high heat.
Mix it up, let it sit, then mix it again.
Cook until the shrimp is pink and opaque (about 5 minutes).
Pull it off of the heat and let it cool.
4. Get chopping.
Chop your chives finely.
Chop your shrimp, sausage, and onion mix.
5. Build your bowl.
Start with a layer of mashed potatoes.
Add in 1–2 tbsps of your jar garlic (as much as you prefer).
Add your shrimp, sausage, and onion mix.
Add your grated cheese.
Stir it together, then dump it in an oven-safe dish and top it with more cheese.
Finally add a layer of your panko bread crumbs.
6. Bake, then garnish.
In an oven preheated to 350 °F (177 °C), bake your mashed potato bowl until it’s golden and bubbly (about 10 minutes).
Carefully remove the hot dish from the oven.
Finish with a sprinkle of your diced chives on top.
7. Enjoy!
