Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl toss potatoes with 4 tablespoons oil, 2 teaspoons salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Spread potatoes on two or three large baking sheets, leaving space between chunks so they can brown. Roast, tossing occasionally and changing position of baking pans so potatoes cook evenly, until potatoes are golden, crisp around edges, and tender, about 35 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    In a large skillet, heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, bell peppers and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, jalapeños and chili powder and cook 2 minutes more. Add shrimp and remaining teaspoon salt. Cook, tossing occasionally, until shrimp is just opaque, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in lime juice and scrape up any browned bits from bottom of skillet. Combine shrimp mixture with sweet potatoes in a large bowl and stir in the cilantro. Taste and add more lime juice and salt, if necessary.

I made this to use up some sweet potatoes, surprise, surprise, it was delicious - I am making this again (to me) a nice alternative to chili - used sweet red pepper instead of green - to satisfy non-believers in my midst. Also I halved the recipe because I only had three sweet potatoes.

Also cut the recipe in half, and used half of a poblano rather than jalapeño as that was we had on hand. Also, used Cajun seasoning on the shrimp, and lots of herbs de Provence on the sweet potatoes. Added feta at the end. Basically you can modify the recipe to use whatever you have on hand. Darn versatile.

I followed the recipe closely (which is rare for me) but cut ingredients by a 2/3 since it was only two of us and that provided enough for dinner and leftovers for lunch. Although I kept the leftovers for lunch, I had them for breakfast with a fried egg the next day, even better. Delish!
