Serve up a Lowcountry scramble. Cut the potatoes and shrimp into 1/2-in. pieces and the kielbasa in half. Warm in a nonstick skillet, then add beaten eggs, scramble to desired doneness and fold in grated Cheddar.

Ingredients

1 lb. small red-skinned new potatoes (about 12)
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
kosher salt
Black pepper
4 oz. kielbasa, sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. ground mustard
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
3/4 lb. large peeled and deveined shrimp (about 16)
1 c. corn kernels (cut fresh from 1 ear or thawed if frozen)
1 bunch spinach (about 12 oz.), thick stems discarded, leaves roughly chopped

Instructions

Place the potatoes on a large plate and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Turn and microwave until just tender, 1 to 2 minutes more. Cut in half.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Push to one side of the pan.
Add the kielbasa to the other side of the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, coriander, mustard and cayenne and cook, tossing, 1 minute.
Add the shrimp, corn and spinach, cover and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the shrimp is opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes.
