Sweet potato, Kale and Shrimp Skillet

I'm sorry I don't have a picture for this one, it was too delicious and it was gone almost instantly. I made a Sweet Potato, Kale and Shrimp Skillet. I would rate it fairly healthy and very delicious! I had kale and sweet potatoes from the farmer's market and needed a way to use them. 

Here is the recipe I used: 

Sweet potato, Kale, and Shrimp Skillet
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup onion, diced
Red Pepper flakes, to taste (I think I used a few too many...oh well!)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups sweet potatoes, diced
2 cups fresh shrimp
3 cups trimmed and coarsely chopped kale leaves
Ground black pepper
Salt

  1. In a saucepan, add the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add onions, and red pepper flakes. 
  3. Cook until onions are soft and golden. 
  4. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
  5. Add sweet potato and cook until soft. It is about 10-15 minute. In case you need, add a few tablespoons of water to help steam the sweet potato (I found it helpful to put the cover on the skillet to help steam the sweet potato)
  6. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink 
  7. Turn the heat to low and add kale, stirring until wilted
  8. Season to taste with salt and pepper
