A. Preparing the sweet potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
- Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork to allow steam to escape during roasting.
- Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and drizzle them with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
B. Roasting the sweet potatoes
- Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before handling.
C. Cooking the shrimp
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the shrimp. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the shrimp until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become tough and rubbery.
