BROCCOLI AND SHRIMP-STUFFED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Wash the potatoes, prick them and bake in preheated oven for about an hour or until tender.
• Set aside.

• Add the onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden.
• Add the garlic and broccoli and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Add 1/4 cup water, cover and let steam for 2-3 minutes or until broccoli is crisp tender (if water not evaporated at this point, pour off any water left).
• When cool enough to handle, halve the potatoes lengthwise.
• Scoop out the flesh into a bowl, leaving a thin shell.
• Mash the potato.
• Add the broccoli mixture, shrimp, sour cream and salt and pepper to taste.
• Stir gently until mixture is combined.
• Spoon the filling into the potato skin shell and transfer to a well-buttered shallow baking dish.

• Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes, until heated through.

LIGHT POTATO, BROCCOLI, AND SHRIMP SOUP

Steps:

• Bring a medium sized pot to medium-high heat and coat with non-stick cooking spray. Add minced shallot and cook for 1 minute. Add potato and broccoli cooking for about 2-3 minutes to caramelize.
• Add chicken broth and thyme to the pot. Season with some salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover pot, reduce heat to medium and cook for about 15 minutes or until potatoes and broccoli are tender. Remove from heat and use a hand-held immersion blender to puree soup base.
• Place the pot back on medium low heat and add cream cheese, sour cream, and half & half. Stir regularly until ingredients are well incorporated and soup is creamy.
• Add shrimp and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until shrimp are cooked through. Be very careful not to over cook -- they are done when they turn pink. If you over cook, they will be rubbery.
• Check for seasoning, add salt and pepper to your taste if needed.
• Remove from heat and serve with some fresh parsley as garnish.
