2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

directions

Place the cut vegetables onto a baking pan; drizzle 1 cup of the olive oil over the vegetables and season with HALF OF the kosher salt and black pepper. Toss to evenly coat the vegetables with the olive oil and seasonings.
Place the baking tray of vegetables into a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are lightly roasted. Remove from the oven to cool.
In a large mixing bowl place the Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Brown Potatoes with the flour, eggs, Asiago cheese, and fresh herbs and seasoning; gently combine; taking care not to over mix. Add the roasted vegetables to the potato mixture and mix. Cover the bowl with saran and refrigerate for 20 minutes to chill.
Place the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil into a mixing bowl; add the remaining Kosher salt, black pepper, shrimp, fresh herbs, mustard and lime juice; mix to evenly coat the shrimp with the herb oil. Refrigerate the shrimp mixture for 10 minutes; allowing the flavors to marry.
In a large non stick skillet heat ¼ cup of the vegetable oil over medium high heat; in batches place 1/4 cup portions of the vegetable potato cakes into the skillet; gently flattening to about ½ inch thick circles. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown. Gently turn each potato cake over using a wide spatula; sauté the second side for an additional 2 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Remove the potato cakes from the skillet and hold in a warm area on absorbent paper. Cook the remaining potato cakes using additional vegetable oil as necessary.
Heat a separate non skillet over medium heat; add the shrimp marinade to the pan; in batches place the shrimp into the skillet; taking care not to over crowd. Sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes or until firm and pink; using tongs remove the shrimp from the skillet and reserve in a warm area. Sauté the remaining shrimp using leftover shrimp marinade.
