Ingredients:
Instructions:
2. 1 cup onion, diced (160g)
3. 1 tsp red pepper flakes (0.32g)
4. 2 garlic cloves, minced (6g)
5. 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (270g)
6. 16 oz shrimps, peeled and deveined (450g)
7. 3 cups kale, chopped (200g)
8. 1 dash black pepper (1/10g)
9. 1 dash salt (0.40g)
- Dice the onion and sweet potatoes.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Peel and devein the shrimps if not already done.
- Chop the kale into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to become translucent.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Sauté for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes start to soften and become slightly golden.
- Add the minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Push the vegetables to the sides of the skillet, making a space in the center. Add the shrimps to the center of the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through.
- Add the chopped kale to the skillet, stirring everything together. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the kale is wilted and tender.
- Season with a dash of black pepper and a dash of salt, adjusting to taste.
- Once everything is well combined and cooked through, remove from heat and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Make sure to peel and devein the shrimp before cooking for ease of eating.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into small, uniform cubes to ensure they cook evenly.
- Massage the kale with a little bit of olive oil before adding it to the skillet to help soften it up and enhance its flavor.
- Feel free to add other veggies like bell peppers or cherry tomatoes for extra color and nutrients.
- Adjust the level of red pepper to your taste preference for a milder or spicier dish.
- Using a cast-iron skillet can enhance the flavor and ensure even cooking.
And there you have it! A scrumptious Sweet Potato, Kale, and Shrimp Skillet that’s not only quick and easy but also brimming with flavors and nutrients. Serve it up hot and enjoy the medley of tastes and textures that will surely become a favorite in your household.
