Preparation
The first thing you’ll need to do is make a blackening spice mix. I use the same spice mix from my black and blue burger recipe– it’s so versatile!
Mix up those spices and use them in two ways in this recipe – for the shrimp, and the dressing.
Now for the potato salad itself, first, you’ll chop up your veggies and add them to a mixing bowl.
Then you’ll chop and boil your potatoes. The Side Delights Gourmet Petite Pure Gold potatoes are perfect for this recipe. They take on an almost luxurious quality in flavor and texture when cooked.
Or, if you’d rather not have two things going on the stove at once, you can also use Side Delights Steamables, 1.5 lb. of steam in the bag in 8 minutes potatoes instead!
While the potatoes are cooking, you’ll cook your shrimp. Toss the shrimp in a little oil and blackening spice mix. Then sauté them in butter until cooked.
The last part you’ll need to make is the dressing. Whisk all these together to make a tangy, spicy dressing that pairs perfectly with the potatoes and shrimp.
Toss everything together and boom! – a flavorful potato salad that everyone will love.
Variations
I recommend serving it warm, but you can also serve it cold if you prefer.
