Instructions
 

  • Preheat a large skillet over medium heat
  • While the skillet is warming up, place your mashed sweet potatoes in a stand mixer or large mixing bowl
  • Add your coconut milk and honey or maple syrup and mix well until you have a whipped sweet potato with no clumps
  • Sprinkle with some cinnamon to taste and mix well
  • Once your skillet is preheated, add your coconut oil or butter to the pan
  • Liberally season your shrimp with salt and pepper and place in the pan
  • Saute for 5-7 minutes occasionally stirring and ensuring you flip the shrimp over to cook on both sides. You want your shrimp to cook until just slightly pink.
  • Now it's time to plate. Place a large spoonful of sweet potato on a plate, top with a shrimp and sprinkle with bacon.
  • You can plate these all individually or serve in a large dish all at once.
  • Enjoy
