Neighbor challenge Chopped meal (photo heavy)

I challenged my neighbor to a “Chopped” style meal. I said I’d buy the groceries (no more than $35), and he had to feed 6 adults an appetizer and entree. There was no time limit, only rule was he couldn’t use any protein from his kitchen.

I spent $35.48

Portobello mushroom, sweet potatoes, skirt steak, frozen shrimp, guava nectar, raspberry chia, canned tomatoes, & miso soup mix






Here is the menu he came up with in about 15 mins



Here are the plates (took him abut an hour to make all three dishes







The pasta was the only non-seasoning that he used
