One Pan Popcorn Shrimp & Sweet Potato Fries with Sweet & Spicy Aioli

I still remember the first time I had popcorn shrimp. I was 7 or 8 years old at a fancier dinner with my family and my mom wanted me to try something different than the typical kid’s menu of chicken fingers or grilled cheese. I ordered popcorn shrimp and have been hooked ever since! I’m excited to partner with Gorton’s to share a recipe for Popcorn Shrimp and Sweet Potato Fries with a Sweet and Spicy Aioli. This recipe comes together all on one sheet pan, so it’s easy to throw together for a weeknight dinner for the fam. To make things even easier, you could slice the sweet potatoes ahead of time during your meal prep for the week.

Gorton’s shrimp is a great freezer staple and is preserved for freshness whenever you need them. It’s a good source of protein, rich in vitamins and minerals and non-GMO. Plus they cook quick, so you can have seafood whenever you want it! Check out the recipe:
