Juicy shrimp dance in garlicky herbaceous pesto potato salad! One bite and you know this easy dish is heart warming comfort food love.
I wanted to combine the summer staple of potato salad and shrimp salad together. My master plan is to make the ultimate comfort food side dish, that could double as a main. Any excuse to eat more potatoes lol! This would the perfect Wednesday night you rock dinner.You work hard you deserve a carb loaded shrimp loving meal to celebrate you. Then on Thursday the leftovers can celebrate you dreams coming true.
I have 2 awesome tips for you when making potato salad. First, boil the potatoes in chicken stock (instead of water) so that you get even more flavor. Second, make the potatoes the night so they get cold and harden up. This way the potatoes wont break apart as you mix it in the pesto. A bonus tip is to sing and dance as you make this recipe lol! The singing and dancing is the secret ingredient. Happy cooking and any question comment below. I am soooo grateful to cook with you and remember that you rock!!!
