It’s freezing here. Just freezing cold. And I’m completely ready for this snow season to be over. Spring is the best time of year in Colorado. Truly. It’s absolutely gorgeous. And when you’re close to the greatest park in Denver like I am, you appreciate and adore the spring time even more. But while Colorado is deciding if it wants to be warm and sunny again, I’m going to travel to Austin, TX where it is 75-80 degrees out. Beautiful.
What dress am I going to pack? Oh gosh.
As you’re reading this, I’m probably on my way out there. I’ve never been to Austin so I’m pretty excited what the town has available…meaning what kind of food I can try. All I hear about Austin is how amazing the food is out there, so I’m ready. I’ve expanded my stomach, bought aprons to wear, and colored my hair. But I colored my hair about a week ago so it’s already time to dye my roots. Damnit. Stupid blonde hair. I HATE YOU.
I watched the show ‘The Following’ the other night. That sh*t is kind of addicting. I thought it was way scarier than it actually is. And I don’t really like scary. Who likes being scared? Weirdos. The last time I went in a haunted house, I wet myself. I was in high school at the time. Anywho, I already want to watch that show again. And have you ever watched the show ‘Shameless’. Obsessed with that too. Not sure how I became obsessed with these weird shows. They don’t hold a coin to ‘New Girl’. That’s totally not how the saying goes, is it? Damnit.
I am really over this whole basketball thing. I watched way more basketball than I would ever like to in my entire life, the other day. At least 45 minutes. It’s so boring. I don’t know how people get into it. I went to a hockey game about a week ago and I can see why people like that. It goes by fast, it’s over before you know it, and people get in fights. I get it. But basketball, come on. So boring.
Remember when I made Thanksgiving Bacon and Chive Sweet Potato Biscuits? And how some of you thought they were delicious. Well, I made the same ones but with shrimp and jalapeño. Why? Because it seemed like the right thing to do with biscuits and gravy. Yes, there is a gravy coming to you for these biscuits by the end of the week. Just you wait.
Shrimp and Jalapeno Sweet Potato Biscuits
- Yield: 12 1x
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato or yam (equivalent to 2 cups mashed)
- 3 eggs, whisked
- 3 tablespoons Coconut Flour
- 4–5 shrimp, cooked, diced small
- 3 tablespoons bacon fat, melted (or butter if you do dairy)
- 1 jalapeño, thinly diced
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 415 degrees.
- Pork holes in your sweet potato with a fork.
- Place in oven and bake for 30-40 or until soft.
- Once the sweet potato is done baking, turn oven down to 375 degrees.
- When your sweet potato is done, peel and place in a bowl and mash with a fork.
- Then add in your eggs and mix well with your sweet potato. Then add in your bacon fat and mix well.
- Then your dry ingredients: coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
- Finally add your diced cooked and diced shrimp and jalapeños. Mix thoroughly
- Now line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use an ice cream scoop to drop your biscuits on the sheet, for the perfect shape. Try to make them all equal in size so they cook the same.
- Place in oven and bake for 22-27 minutes.
- Let rest.
- Top with some melted grass fed butter. You don’t have to, since it’s not paleo, but I did it, and it was delicious.
- Eat with gravy. What gravy? Wait until later this week!

Ha! Juan in a Million :). Yes, go to there. Get a handshake, and some migas for breakfast.
Austin is by far one of my favorite cities. It’s almost as great as posts that include both BaconFat and Jalapenos as tags.
The Following is do addicting! Best new show this season:) I can’t wait for the cookbook to come out:) have fun in Austin!
do you have the nutritional info on these?
thanks
no i do not
Freaking YUM! I’ve got everything, except the shrimp. Need to get some shrimp stat!
I love how you tell us to “pork” holes in our sweet potato. Maybe because we’re all kind of obsessed with bacon? I know I am since I started eating Paleo…
I am SO going to make this. They don’t eat biscuits in New Zealand; they have something called savory scones which are pretty close – but of course I wouldn’t eat them now anyway. Stoked to make these for my Kiwi friends, espesh with the gravy!
I am also tired of the cold weather in Colorado! I’m originally from MT so the weather in Denver isn’t too bad. I recently found your blog and I made your burgers with chipotle seasoning, pineapple and the avocado cream…I loved them! I’m glad I found your website!
I love Shameless too. I’m not one for raunchy dramas, but this show is so addicting. The twists are pretty cool and, of course, the characters are completely shameless. Sad thing is that it’s not too far from reality for some people….
On a side note, your dark hair looks beautiful, but have you ever wondered if the hair dye is causing your acne? I know some people can develop acne in response to allergies so maybe you could be allergic to the chemicals in the hair dye? Just thinking out loud. Maybe you could try henna or switch the brands up? It just seems like you eat healthy, exercise (which helps detox), and have tried all the natural skincare methods. There has to be something in your environment causing it, right? And it can’t be your food or skincare regimen. I just don’t buy the hormone imbalance argument because then what is causing the hormone imbalance? Anyways, just some thoughts. You look beautiful as it is 🙂
We made these last night and they were SO good! 🙂
These sound amazing. I think I’ll make them tomorrow, since I have the day off for Good Friday. 🙂
OMG, I LOVE Shameless!! I’ve been addicted since the first episode that I watched. And it just keeps getting better.
Doesn’t hold a candle to New Girl, you say? As much as you’ve mentioned this show, I think I will have to seek it out and give it a try.
Hockey is the only sport I really enjoy watching. The fast pace, the fights – what could be better?! It’s even better in person, especially with a few beers. 🙂
Have fun at PaleoFX and enjoy Austin! I am setting my sights on going next year, depending on if I can find someone to drag with me, and maybe even if I can’t!
