Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Prick the potatoes on one side with a fork, then bake until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly, and then slice each potato in half.

Heat the olive oil in a pan on low heat and saute the shrimp, spinach, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the shrimp is pink. Remove from the heat and set aside. Gently scoop out the potato and place in a bowl. Mix together the potatoes, sour cream, half of the Monterey Jack cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper by hand. Fold in the shrimp and spinach. Gently stuff the mixture back into the potato shells, making sure not to break them. Sprinkle each potato with the remaining cheese. Bake until browned on top, about 20 minutes.

    So good! My husband usually does not like sweet potatoes and he really liked this recipe. My sweet potatoes took much longer than an hour to bake. After an hour and half, I pulled them out and sliced them in half....still not cooked completely. Next time I will bake at a higher temp. I scooped them out and finished them in the microwave. Also, my shells did not stay together really well, so finished baking them in individual ramekins -- worked really well. I made a two changes. I substituted Tony's Cajun Seasoning for the salt to season the shrimps and spinach. And for me, twice baked potatoes need real bacon bits on top, so I cooked and chopped three slices of bacon. It was sweet, spicy and a little salty flavor -- worked great together!

    Onolicious! It was my first time using a sweet potato. I think the sweet balances well with everything else.

    I really enjoyed this recipe. My husband did too. However, it does lack on kid appeal. My 7 year old ate it and decided it was ok. My 5 year old ate it under protest. My 1 year old is still holding out.
