Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more for garnish
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 red bell pepper, seeds removed and cut in thin strips
1 yellow bell pepper, seeds removed and cut in thin strips
1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
5 scallions, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup packed curly kale, stemmed and hand torn
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • In a bowl or measuring cup, mix together the soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, rice wine vinegar, ginger and crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Heat the oil in a large high-sided skillet or wok over high heat. Add the bell peppers and stir until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Scoot the peppers to the edge of the pan, creating an opening in the center.
  • Add the shrimp in a single layer to the center of the pan and cook until just beginning to turn pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Add three-quarters of your scallions (hold back the rest for garnishing at the end) and stir everything together.
  • Add the kale and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Next, pour in the sauce and allow it to bubble and thicken in the pan while stirring, about 1 minute. The sauce should really cling to the shrimp and vegetables. Remove from the heat.
  • Sprinkle everything with the cilantro and mint and stir to combine. Garnish with more red pepper flakes and the remaining scallions before serving.

SHRIMP STUFFED BELL PEPPERS



Shrimp Stuffed Bell Peppers image

Have no idea where I got this recipe some 40 or so years ago! It was a favorite with my family. I like to use couscous but it also works well with cooked rice. The measurements, as listed, should stuff 4 "average-size" home-grown peppers. If using particularly large or small ones, adjustments may need to be made. Shrimp all those years ago were cheap. But even still, sometimes the budget was tight. Those were the times there was more couscous and less shrimp in the stuffing!! Still good, though.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 bell peppers, tops cut off and seeded
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup couscous
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil or 1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 lb cooked shrimp, shelled, deveined, cut in bite-size pieces
salt and pepper
1/2 cup crumbled fresh bread
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Parboil peppers for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Turn upside down to drain. Saute garlic and onion in the olive oil (or butter) until softened. Add water and 1/4 t salt; bring to boil. Stir in couscous and take pot off heat. Cover and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork; mix in Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, salt, pepper and shrimp. Place peppers in greased baking dish and fill with shrimp mixture. Toss the crumbled bread in melted butter and put on top of peppers. Put small amount of water in bottom of dish and bake peppers 350 degrees, loosely covered with foil, for about 15 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake an additional 15-20 minutes until heated through and crumbs are lightly browned. (This is a great dish to make ahead, refrigerate, then pop in the oven when you get home from work. Will need additional baking time).
