Elevated Meatloaf

Ingredients:

Directions:

Meatloaf
1. In a large bowl add eggs, worcestershire, and bbq sauce and beat together with a wire wisk
2. While beating, add all dry ingredients to wet with the exception of the breadcrumbs
3. Once all ingredients are well combine, add meat to bowl
4. Gently mix meat by hand just until everything is combine. (Don't overwork or meatloaf will be tough)
5. Add half the bread crumbs and gently mix through. Continue to add crumbs a little at a time until the meatloaf no longer has a wet consistency. Be careful not to add too many breadcrumbs or it will be mushy when eating.
6. Line a 1/2 sheet pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray
7. Gently work the meatloaf into all the corners (DO NOT press down too hard. This will make the meatloaf tough)
8. Place into a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 min. After 15 min rotate tray 180 degrees and cook for another 15 min
9. Remove from oven (Remember that the meatloaf will shrink during the cooking process)
10. Place some BBQ sauce into a squeeze bottle

Veggies
1. Open and mix both bags of veggies together in a microwave safe bowl
2. Add salt and pepper and microwave on high for 2 minutes
3. Stir veggies and microwave on high for another 2 minutes (Repeat this step until veggies are hot)
4. Once veggies are hot dump in collander to remove excess water and put back into bowl
5. Add butter and stir until melted

Potatoes
1. Peel and quarter potatoes
2. Place potatoes into a large pot and fill with cold water
3. Salt water and place on high heat until water begins to boil
4. Cook potatoes until you can run a butter knife through them
5. Pour potatoes into collander and run cold water over them to stop from over cooking
6. Place potatoes into a large bowl or in a stand mixer (stand mixer will make potatoes smooth)
7. Add all ingredients except the parmesan and mix together. ( If using stand mixer, wire wisk attachment works to best)
8. Once potatoes are mashed they will have a loose consistency. Slow fold in parmesan cheese until potatoes tighten up enough for them to hold a stiff peak

Shrimp
1. Peel and clean shrimp (EZ peel shrimp works the best but still may need some cleaning). Once shrimp are peeled and cleaned, put in small bowl
2. Toss shrimp in your favorite BBQ Rub
3. In a hot skillet add butter and oil
4. Cook shrimp on one side until it just turns pink. Should take 30 seconds to a minute
5. Flip over shrimp and cook on other side. Should take another 30 seconds to a minute
6. Place shrimp in bowl

Plating
1. Using a large glass, cut meatloaf into circles. (Should yield 5 portions)
2. Place meatloaf in middle of plate
3. Place a serving of mashed potato's on top of meatloaf
4. Place 2 shrimp on top of potato's
5. Place a small pile of veggies on plate
6. Give plate a quarter turn and place next small pile. (Do this until you have 4 small piles around plate)
7. Use squeeze bottle filled with BBQ sauce and zig-zag across plate. (If you don't have a squeeze bottle, dip spoon into BBQ sauce and you can accomplish the same effect)
8. Serve and enjoy

*This is only one way you can plate this. Have fun and play around with it.
