Allergens

Contains no common allergens unless specified.

Ingredients

• 24 large shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 fresh pineapple, cut into 1
• inch chunks 2 lbs beef tenderloin, trimmed of excess fat 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and quartered 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 2
• inch lengths 1/2 cup honey 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice 1/4 cup vegetable oil 2 tbsp minced garlic 1/4 tsp ground black pepper Salt, to taste Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine shrimp, pineapple chunks, soy sauce, lime juice, 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly and marinate for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add butter, milk, remaining minced garlic, salt, and pepper to taste. Mash until smooth and creamy. Keep warm.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat. Thread shrimp and pineapple onto skewers, leaving space between each piece. Grill the skewers for 2 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp is cooked through and pink. Remove from heat.
4. Season beef tenderloin with salt and pepper. In a preheated oven safe pan, sear the steak over high heat for 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the oven and cook for 10 15 minutes or until desired doneness is reached. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
5. Toss carrots with honey and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Spread them on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12 14 minutes, turning once, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
6. Plate the steak slices, shrimp and pineapple skewers, mashed potatoes, and honey glazed carrots. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve immediately.
