Shrimp Potato Nests #RSC image

Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry. Little nests of potatoes filled with a shrimp puree topped with a small piece of shrimp. These little nests are great for superbowl parties or any occasion. I made similar nest (smoked salmon, sour cream) for Christmas Eve and people loved them. This is a sophisticated appetizer, so some may not like this but it is worthy of a try. I only put 30 mintues as a prep time because besides the time it takes to refrigerate the potatoes everything else is very easy and quick to do.
