"Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: The dish is a main course, since it contains the protein and unsaturated fat (the shrimps and the Goat cheese) and the starches for a balanced diet. I like it because it is tasty, easy to prepare, and the left over can be use the next day. It can be served with few asparagus and raw carrot strips."

12. Drop the other half of the potatoes evenly on top of the shrimps mix.
13. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
14. When the baking pan is removed from the oven place it on cooling rack for 30 minutes.
15. You can choose to serve it cutting it with a cake cutter into individual portions.
16. Or you can choose to remove the entire potatoes from the baking pan to make it more attractive. To do so make sure that it is totally cool, if extra cooling time is needed let it stay on the cooling rack until you touch the pan and it is cool. Move the potatoes edges inward with a skinny spatula, also from the sides of the pan introduce an L shape scraper (or a large folk) into the bottom of the pan to make sure the center of the potatoes will fall together; cover the entire pan with a large serving dish, place the pan upside-down. The potatoes will have the consistence to stay firm together; when cut in individual portions they will look like a piece of cake.
