Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash sweet potatoes and slice into ½-inch rounds. Brush both sides of the sweet potato slices with olive oil (about 1 tablespoon total) and place on prepared baking sheet. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
Roast potatoes in the oven for 20 minutes. Flip and roast for an additional 8 to 10 minutes.
While potatoes are roasting, make guacamole: Cut avocados in half, remove seeds and scoop fruit into a bowl. Mash with a fork, until almost smooth. Add in 2 tablespoons diced red onion and the juice of 1 lime. Stir to combine. Season with ¼ teaspoon kosher salt and a pinch of black pepper, plus 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin.
For the shrimp: Use a paper towel to pat dry the peeled and deveined shrimp. Add to a small bowl with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1½ teaspoons Old Bay seasoning. Toss to combine.
In a skillet preheated over medium-high, add shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes and flip to finish cooking for an additional 1 minute to 90 seconds.
Finish the dish by adding a spoonful of guacamole onto each sweet potato round and top with a cooked shrimp. Garnish with remaining diced red onion and chopped cilantro. Serve right on the baking tray or transfer to a serving platter.
