Instructions
- Prep the oven and potatoes: Heat oven to 450°F. Halve ~1 lb fingerling potatoes lengthwise. Toss with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper. Roast on a sheet pan 20–25 minutes, flipping once, until browned and tender.
- Prep the salad: Thin-slice ~1/2 bunch celery (about 2 cups). Thin-slice 1 cucumber. If using, dice 1 avocado and keep separate until serving.
- Quick dress the salad: In a bowl, toss celery and cucumber with 2 teaspoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. (If you have any vinegar or citrus at home, add a small splash/squeeze—optional.) Chill until serving. Fold in diced avocado right before eating if using.
- Cook the shrimp: Pat 12 oz raw shrimp very dry. Heat a skillet over medium-high with 1 tablespoon oil. Add shrimp in one layer; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Cook 60–90 seconds per side until just opaque and lightly browned.
- Glaze (hot-honey style): Reduce heat to low. Add 1–2 teaspoons hot honey (or regular honey plus a pinch of chili flakes if you have it) and toss shrimp for 15–20 seconds just to coat. Turn off heat immediately to prevent burning.
- Serve: Plate roasted fingerlings with the celery-cucumber salad. Top with hot-honey shrimp. Add avocado if using.

Health notes: Estimated per serving (1/2 recipe): ~650–850 kcal (depends on how much hot honey you use). Protein ~30–40g. Tip: keep the glaze light—toss shrimp off-heat so sugars don’t burn.
Drink pairing: Sweet heat + seafood is happiest with high-acid whites or bubbly. Wine styles: Brut sparkling (traditional method or dry Cava) Albariño (saline, citrus, great with shrimp) Dry rosé (crisp, minimal tannin, can take a little spice)
