SHRIMP & CRAB SWEET POTATO SLIDERS
PREP + COOK TIME 35 MINUTES MAKES 12
The sweet potatoes need to be about 2¾ inches in diameter, as they will serve as the “buns” for the sliders.
3 purple-skinned white-fleshed sweet potatoes, unpeeled
¼ cup olive oil
12 large shrimp (10 ounces), peeled, deveined, with tails intact
2 cups watercress sprigs
¼ cup fresh micro sorrel leaves
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 medium avocado
crab filling
6½ ounces cooked crab meat
½ cup crème fraîche
½ clove garlic, crushed
1 green onion (scallions), chopped finely
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon nigella seeds
2 tablespoons horseradish cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 Cut eight ½-inch-thick rounds from each sweet potato (you need 24 rounds in total); discard tapered ends. Brush rounds with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil; season. Cook rounds, in batches, on a heated grill pan (or barbecue) for 6 minutes each side or until cooked through. Remove from heat; keep warm.
2 Make crab filling.
3 Coat shrimp in remaining olive oil; season. Cook shrimp on heated grill pan for 1 minute each side or until just cooked through. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
4 Place watercress, sorrel, and cilantro in a small bowl with extra-virgin olive oil and juice. Season; toss to combine. Mash avocado in a small bowl.
5 Place 12 sweet potato rounds on a board; top each with crab filling, a shrimp, mashed avocado, and watercress salad. Top with remaining sweet potato rounds.

tip We used crème fraîche in the crab filling rather than a commercial aïoli or mayonnaise, as they tend to contain refined sugars unless made from scratch.
