Sweet Potatoes Stuffed with Shrimp and Salsa

Sweet potatoes and seafood? Heck yes! 
This dish has about as much protein as four slices of turkey breast, but packs more punch in the flavor department thanks to diced kielbasa, shrimp, salsa, reduced-fat sour cream, and cilantro. 
Hearty and never boring, this dish will have guests clamoring for seconds.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (8 to 10 ounces each)
  • 1/4 cup turkey kielbasa, diced
  • 12 small shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
  • Prepared salsa
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-fat sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation


Pierce potatoes with a fork, and arrange on paper towels. Microwave on high 8 minutes; turn potatoes over after 4 minutes. Brown 1/4 cup kielbasa in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp; saute 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in salsa. Slit each potato lengthwise. Push ends inward to form a pocket. Stuff shrimp mixture into each. Dollop each potato with 1/2 tablespoon sour cream; sprinkle each with a teaspoon of cilantro.
