Tips:
- For the perfect blackened shrimp, use a cast iron skillet and heat it over high heat. This will create a nice sear on the shrimp and lock in the flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the shrimp. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick to the pan.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. They should be cooked just until they are opaque and pink in the center.
- For the mashed sweet potatoes, use a Yukon Gold potato. This type of potato is naturally sweet and creamy, and it will make a delicious and fluffy mashed potato.
- Be sure to season the mashed sweet potatoes with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. These spices will enhance the natural sweetness of the potatoes.
- For the andouille cream sauce, use a good quality andouille sausage. The flavor of the sausage will be the star of this dish.
- Be sure to cook the andouille sausage until it is browned and crispy. This will give the sauce a nice smoky flavor.
- Add a splash of cream or milk to the andouille cream sauce to make it smooth and creamy.
- Serve the blackened shrimp with the mashed sweet potatoes and andouille cream sauce immediately.
Conclusion:
This blackened shrimp with mashed sweet potatoes and andouille cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and the mashed sweet potatoes are creamy and flavorful. The andouille cream sauce is the perfect finishing touch, adding a touch of smokiness and spice.
