simple and sophisticated

Wash the sweet potatoes and then boil them in a pot with enough water until they are tender. Place each cooked potato individually in a piece of aluminum foil and press the foil down. Leave the top open so that the potato is still visible and can be scooped out. Cut a small lid off the top of the potato and then carefully scoop out the inside with a spoon and place it in a bowl. Place the hollowed-out sweet potatoes in the aluminum foil on a baking tray. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees fan-assisted. Mix the potato mixture with several sips of coconut milk and season with salt, pepper and chili flakes. Mix well. The result should be a creamy but not runny mashed potato. Add the shrimp and mix again until evenly combined. Fill the hollowed-out sweet potatoes with the mashed potato and finally sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese. The potatoes then go into the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. While the potatoes are in the oven, prepare the salad: Tear the lettuce into even, bite-sized pieces, wash them, and then toss them in a bowl with the goat’s cheese. Add a little salt and pepper. Arrange the salad on two plates. Halve the avocado and remove the stone. Use a small spoon to scoop out balls from the avocado halves and scatter them on the salad. Finally, add the blackberries and garnish with a little honey. The blackberries can also be served directly in the hollowed-out avocado skins. This makes the dish a real eye-catcher. Place the baked sweet potatoes next to the salad.
