How to Make Thai Shrimp Potatoes

  1. Cook bacon until crispy. Remove from pan, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon fat. Crumble bacon and set aside.
  2. Add spinach to the pan with the reserved bacon fat. Sauté over medium-high heat until wilted (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. In a large saucepan, combine mashed potatoes (2 cups), heavy cream (1/4 cup), goat cheese (4 oz, crumbled), and the crumbled bacon. Cook over medium-low heat until heated through and cheese is melted, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in the sautéed spinach. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  6. In a large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of reserved bacon fat and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  7. Add shrimp (1 pound) and sauté for 2-4 minutes, until pink and cooked through.
  8. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside, reserving any juices.
  9. Add dry white wine (1/4 cup) and sweet chili sauce (2 tablespoons) to the pan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  10. Return shrimp and any reserved juices to the pan. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until shrimp are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  11. Stir in 4 tablespoons of the cooked bacon.
  12. Remove from heat.
  13. To serve, place a large spoonful of mashed potatoes on each plate. Top with the shrimp and sauce.
