Garlic Butter Prawns with Mashed Potatoes - Home Cooked

Dinner last night was another home cooked meal. It was garlic butter prawns with mashed potatoes.

For the garlic butter prawns, you need:

• Prawns, deveined
• Olive oil
• Butter
• Garlic

First you heat the olive oil and butter then saute the garlic. Drop in the deveined prawns and cook until they turn pink. I usually try to squeeze the prawn heads with my wooden spoon to bring out the juice. It adds flavor to the "sauce".

For the mashed potatoes, I used instant this time. I saw this brand called Idahoan Baked Flavored Mashed Potatoes in the grocery earlier. It was a good discovery. Very easy to cook and tastes so good, almost like the real thing.

To cook the mashed potatoes, you just heat 1 cup of water. When it boils, add half of the 28g packet. Use a fork to moisten all potatoes. Stir and let stand for 1 minute. If you want it creamier or thicker, add more or less water.
