I like to make this seafood dinner for company because it tastes amazing, but takes very little effort to throw together. Use asparagus, Broccolini or a mix of the two. It’s all about what's available for a decent price. —Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 pounds baby red potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt, divided
  • 3 medium limes
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
  • 1/2 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 1/2 pound Broccolini or broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 1 pound uncooked shrimp (16-20 per pound), peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°. Place potatoes in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan; drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon sea salt; stir to combine. Bake for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, squeeze 1/3 cup juice from limes, reserving fruit. Combine the lime juice, melted butter, chipotle and remaining 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
  2. Remove pan from the oven; stir potatoes. Arrange asparagus, Broccolini, shrimp and reserved limes on top of potatoes. Pour lime juice mixture over vegetables and shrimp.
  3. Bake until shrimp turn pink and vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes longer. Sprinkle with minced fresh cilantro.

Test Kitchen tips
  • Don't throw out the squeezed limes. You'll be surprised by how much juice comes out of them after they're roasted.
  • Can't find baby red potatoes? Try baby Yukon Gold potatoes.
