Steps:
- Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork, then put each one on a piece of foil. Drizzle with a little oil, season, then tightly wrap them. If you have a couple of smaller potatoes, wrap them together so they cook evenly.
- Carefully place directly onto the coals of a hot barbecue and cook for 35-40 mins until partly blackened and completely soft inside. To test, insert a skewer through the foil into the centre of the potato - it should go in easily. Alternatively, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the potatoes on the top shelf of the oven and roast for 45 mins, then heat the grill to its highest setting and grill for 5 mins, turning halfway, until slightly charred.
- Put the potatoes on a large platter and lightly mash with a fork, skins and all - they will fall apart easily. Drizzle over the lime juice and a good glug of extra virgin olive oil, and season well before topping with the spring onions. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Steps:
- These potatoes can be steamed to preserve more of the flavor and vitamins (or boiled if you wish), until tender. (To steam them, you can place them in a single layer on a rack placed over a large shallow pan of water with a large pot lid to cover. Replenish water in pan if it boils off before they are tender.)
- Place the tender potatoes in a large bowl and mash by hand with a masher or fork. Then, using a beater, whip in butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, and enough cream to achieve your desired consistency. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
BLACKENED SHRIMP WITH MASHED SWEET POTATOES AND ANDOUILLE CREAM
Steps:
- For the sweet potatoes, in a one-gallon saucepot, add the potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender. When cooked, strain potatoes. In a large bowl, while potatoes are still hot, add honey, butter, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mash together and reserve on stovetop with low heat.
- For the andouille cream, in a large saute pan with the olive oil, sweat the garlic and shallots. Add the celery and saute for one minute. Add the white wine, sausage, and thyme. Reduce for about one minute to half. Add heavy cream and reduce mixture by half again. Stir in Cajun seasoning and butter, saute for one minute. Stir in parsley and season. Be sure to remove thyme sprig before serving. Reserve on stovetop with low heat.
- For the shrimp, dredge shrimp in blackening spice. Season each side of the shrimp with salt and ground black pepper. In a hot saute pan with olive oil, pan sear shrimp. Be sure not to burn the blackening spice, or it will turn very bitter in taste.
- For the presentation, spoon the potatoes in the center of a serving plate. Then stand three shrimp on the potatoes, with the tails in on top. Lastly, spoon a portion of the andouille cream on top of the shrimp and potatoes.
