Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C)
- Chop potatoes into 1.5-inch sections. Try to keep them all the same size so they cook evenly. Dry very well with a paper towel (very important step)
- In a large bowl, add chopped potatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil (reserve 1 tablespoon of olive oil for shrimp and peppers) onions, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp cumin powder, salt and pepper and toss well. (reserve the other teaspoons of garlic powder, paprika and cumin powder for the shrimp and peppers) You can also do this step right on the baking sheet pan, if you do not want to dirty another bowl.
- Place seasoned potatoes and onion on a lined sheet pan in a single layer. (line your baking sheet with aluminum foil and you can thank us later as clean-up is a snap) Make sure there is no overlapping of potatoes.
- Bake potatoes and onions for 20 minutes and then toss. Place back in the oven to continue baking.
- In the meantime, Unthaw, peel and devein shrimp and remove tail. Dry well. Set aside. Chop your bell peppers.
- Toss your shrimp, bell peppers, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of cumin, salt and pepper together. At the 24 minute mark of baking, add your seasoned shrimp and bell pepper mixture to the roasted potatoes, toss and spread out in an even layer to continue roasting for 6-8 minutes or until the shrimp are no longer translucent.
- Test to make sure your potatoes are fork tender and your shrimp are no longer translucent. Your shrimp should be nice and pink. Remove from the oven. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh shrimp and potatoes. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will work, but make sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- Season Well: Don't be afraid to season your shrimp and potatoes generously. A good combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika will give them plenty of flavor.
- Cook the Shrimp Properly: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Cook them just until they turn pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Roast the Potatoes: Roasting the potatoes gives them a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior. You can also bake them if you prefer, but roasting will give them a better flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Shrimp and potato tapas are best served immediately after they're cooked. This will ensure that the shrimp are still hot and juicy and the potatoes are still crispy.
Conclusion:
Shrimp and potato tapas are a delicious and easy appetizer that's perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover shrimp and potatoes. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that's sure to impress your guests.
