Seared Chicken Breast w/ Shrimp and Scalloped Potato

I decided to make a meal for my brother and his family with what I found in their freezer and cabinets. It was definitely worth the creation.

Ingredient

frozen shrimp (thawed, peeled and deveined)

1 tbsp

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Cut tips of potatoes off and slice long ways octagonal until all the skin is off. Then cut in half. Use a peeler to bevel the tips. Place in cool water with salt. Set aside

* Step 2

Thaw the shrimp by placing under cook water in a strainer for 5-7min and slowly massing shrimp with hand under cook water.

* Step 3

Pat down shrimp with paper towels to remove excess water. Place back in empty bowl and add pepper and seafood seasoning. Shake well to make sure it gets all over the shrimp.

* Step 4

Get the chicken breasts to room temp (about 1/2 hr) and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper and thyme flakes. In a skillet heat pan and butter to medium high. Add olive oil and place breasts in pan. Don’t move. Let sear about 7 minutes. Flip and sear the other side about 5-7min.

At the same time, in another skillet under medium high heat add butter until frothed. Add potatoes, and minced garlic. Let sear until browning and flip. Sear other side and baste with the juices until other side is nice and brown.

* Step 7

Meanwhile, in another skillet with the stove still at medium high heat, toss in butter an olive oil and let froth. Add in shrimp and sauté it until it’s nice and colored. Remove shrimp from pan and set aside.

* Step 8

In same skillet toss in chived green onion, carrots and bacon bits with the juices from the shrimp. Continue to sauté until done to likeness.

* Step 9

Add in milk and sour cream and stir until well blended. Reduce heat and let thicken just slightly. (You can can more milk or sour cream if it gets to thick). Toss shrimp back in and let coat with sauces.

* Step 10
