Spicy Shrimp Sweet Potato Boat and Avocado Crema

I found this recipe when I was trying to cut processed sugars and complex carbs from my diet and it was so surprisingly tasty I still eat it after the diet!

Ingredient

Food ration :

2 servings

1/2 lb.

shrimp, peeled - I usually buy shrimp frozen, raw, deveined, with the tails still on. Thaw in a strainer under cool water, remove the tails, and spread out over paper towels to pat dry

1 Tbsp

olive oil

1 Tbsp

chili flakes

1 tsp

garlic powder

1 tsp

sea salt

1/4 tsp

black pepper

avocado

1 Tbsp

coconut milk (any other milk may work)

1/4 tsp

fresh lime juice

medium sweet potatoes

3/4 cup

Cilantro, chopped and divided

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash sweet potatoes, cut them into halves and place on a baking tray. Brush with a bit of oil, season with salt and pepper then roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes.

* Step 2

If you are short on time, skip step 1, poke the potatoes with a fork a few times and microwave for 10-15 minutes, until tender.

* Step 3

Once cooked, remove and allow to cool a bit. Then gently scoop out the center leaving a medium size layer of flesh inside.

* Step 4

Meanwhile; make the avocado cream. In a food processor, combine avocado with milk, lime juice, 1/2 cup cilantro, a pinch of salt and pulse until very smooth.
