"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients:  
1 1/4 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed
6 gloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/12 pounds small red potatoes, halved

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat the broiler. Toss the shrimp, snap peas, garlic, thyme and olive oil in a large bowl; set aside.

Put the potatoes in a pot and cover with water by 1 inch; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add the half & half, 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mash the potatoes with the mixture. Stir in 1 tablespoons chives, if desired.

While the potatoes are cooking, spread the shrimp and snap peas on a baking sheet. Broil until just cooked through and charred in spots, 6 to 8 minutes.

Dot the shrimp and snap peas with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and sprinkle with the lemon zest. Toss until the butter melts and the mixture is well coated; season with salt and pepper. Divide the potatoes, shrimp, snap peas and any juices from the baking sheet among plates. Sprinkle with the remaining chives, if using.
