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.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 medium garlic clove
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt
1 lb ripe tomatoes
2 lbs large shrimp
1 sprig fresh oregano
1 tablespoon capers

Steps:

  • Peel the peppers, core and seed them. Cut away any white pith inside the peppers and cut them into narrow 1 1/2" strips.
  • Peel and thinly slice the garlic. Put it with the olive oil in a 12" skillet and place over medium high heat. As soon as the garlic begins to sizzle, add the peppers. Season lightly with salt and cook until the peppers are tender, about 10 minutes. Do not stir too often so that the peppers will have a chance to brown lightly.
  • While the peppers are cooking, peel the tomatoes and coarsely chop. When the peppers are done, add the tomatoes to the pan. Season them lightly with salt and cook until the tomatoes have reduced and are no longer watery, about 10 minutes.
  • While the tomatoes are cooking, peel and devein the shrimp.
  • Chop enough of the oregano leaves to measure 1 teaspoon and add it to the tomatoes along with the capers. Cook for about 30 seconds, then add the shrimp and season with salt before stirring them inches Cook the shrimp just until they are pink through and through, 2-3 minutes.

Tips for Making the Best Shrimp with Peppers:

  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slight briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are mushy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Clean and devein the shrimp properly. This will help to remove any grit or sand from the shrimp and make them more tender.
  • Use a variety of peppers. This will add flavor and color to the dish. Some good options include bell peppers, chili peppers, and poblano peppers.
  • Marinate the shrimp before cooking. This will help to add flavor and moisture to the shrimp.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just cooked through. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the shrimp with your favorite sides. Some good options include rice, pasta, or vegetables.
