This dish came out of necessity on one of those days where you just need something warm in your belly with minimal effort. I like to keep a bag of shrimp in the freezer because they defrost quickly when I’m in a hurry and I’ve always got cooked sweet potato on hand, so combining the two came naturally.

In the time it takes to defrost the sink under running water you can get your other ingredients prepped. It includes some of my Golden Spice Blend that I mix a big batch of every couple months, but can be substituted for equal parts turmeric, ground ginger and cinnamon (1 teaspoon each).
