1
Make the biscuits -- as they cook you can keep busy making the sauce.
-
2
First step, I like to microwave my sweet potato.
-
3
Use a large sweet potato for this, skin on, nothing fancy, just poke 1-2 times with a fork and pop in the micro, make this easy.
-
4
Just cook 4-5 minutes until nice and soft.
-
5
Remove and let cool enough to handle.
-
6
Then just scoop out the inside.
-
7
You will need one cup of the potato.
-
8
Mix the potato with the bisquick mix, milk, cheese, grated onion, seasoning and butter.
-
9
On a cookie sheet drop 2 tablespoons of the dough down on the pan and press down slightly and then bake in a 425 degree oven on the middle rack until golden brown.
-
10
About 12-15 minutes.
-
11
Remove and set to the side covered while the sauce is cooking.
-
12
The beginning of the sauce -- In a medium saucepan add the bacon and cook until brown and crispy.
-
13
Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
-
14
Just let it cool.
-
15
Sauce stage 2 -- I like to remove the bacon drippings and just keep some.
-
16
You will only need a teaspoon to cook the shrimp and another for the vegetables.
-
17
So on medium heat - add a teaspoon of the bacon drippings to the pan and saute the the shrimp until they JUST start to turn pink and start to curl, 2-3 minutes.
-
18
They don't take long and don't over cook.
-
19
Remove to a small bowl and cover.
-
20
Once you put them back in the sauce they will continue cooking.
-
21
Sauce stage 3 -- now the bacon and shrimp are done so lets start the vegetables.
-
22
Add another teaspoon of the bacon drippings to the pan and bring to medium heat.
-
23
Add the garlic and onion and cook until nice and translucent and tender, just a couple of minutes is all you need.
-
24
Now, add the butter and let it melt.
-
25
Add the flour and cook until combined, just a minute.
-
26
Add the milk and cream and bring to medium heat until the sauce begins to thicken.
-
27
Add the seasonings (hot sauce optional, I like it), fresh parsley, scallions and then add the bacon and shrimp back inches Just cook a minute until heated through.
-
28
Slice the biscuits and top with the creamy shrimp mixture and top with a little parsley and sprinkle of paprika.
