  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Wash sweet potatoes and slice into ½-inch rounds. Brush both sides of the sweet potato with olive oil and place on prepared baking sheet. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Roast potatoes in the oven for 20 minutes. Flip and roast for an additional 8 to 10 minutes.

    In a skillet preheated over medium-high, add shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes and flip to finish cooking for an additional 1 minute to 90 seconds.
