Ingredients

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
4 pounds sweet potatoes (about 6 medium), peeled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
3 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3 medium red onions, peeled and thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups white wine
1/4 cup Sherry
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon crushed pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 1/2 pounds jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/2 pound thinly sliced prosciutto, trimmed of excess fat, cut across into thirds
1 cup coarse fresh bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the bottom of a 12-by-3 1/2-inch round clay casserole dish. Layer 1/3 of the sweet potatoes in the dish, overlapping the slices slightly. Season with 3/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Scatter 1/3 of the onions over the sweet potatoes.
Repeat with the remaining sweet potatoes and onions, seasoning each layer of potatoes with 3/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Combine the wine and Sherry and pour over the top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the potatoes are tender, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the lemon juice, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoons of salt, pepper, pepper flakes and cayenne. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Scatter the prosciutto strips over the sweet-potato mixture. Top with the shrimp. Bake, uncovered, until the shrimp is just cooked through, about 16 minutes. Combine the bread crumbs with the parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Sprinkle the crumbs over the shrimp and place under the broiler until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
