Preparation
1
Prep & Pickle Onion

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Zest lime until you have 2 tsp (4 tsp for 4 servings); quarter lime. Dice sweet potato into ½-inch pieces. Roughly chop cilantro. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Remove and discard any large ribs from kale. • In a medium bowl, combine half the onion, juice from half the lime, ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4), and a pinch of salt. Set aside to quick-pickle.

2
Roast Sweet Potato

• Toss sweet potato on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast until browned and tender, 18-20 minutes.

3
Make Sauces

• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together half the cilantro, juice from remaining lime, and 2 TBSP olive oil (4 TBSP for 4 servings). • In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream and lime zest. Stir in reserved pineapple juice 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

4
Cook Shrimp

• Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add remaining onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 2-4 minutes. • Add shrimp and season with half the Blackening Spice (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp is opaque and cooked through, 2-4 minutes.

5
Make Salad

• Toss kale in a large bowl with a drizzle of oil. Season lightly with salt. Massage kale until leaves soften. Add roasted sweet potato, pineapple, and cilantro lime vinaigrette. Toss to combine.

6
Serve

• Divide kale salad between plates or bowls. Top with blackened shrimp mixture. Drizzle with tropical crema. Garnish with pickled onion (draining first) to taste and remaining cilantro. Serve.
