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.

LINGUINE WITH SAUTéED SHRIMP, TOMATOES AND PEPPERS
Here's a weeknight classic from Pierre Franey's "60 Minute Gourmet" column that was published in 1991. The recipe may be close to 30 years old, but its flavors and ease of preparation are timeless. First, a quick sauce is made of chopped garlic, red and green bell peppers, canned tomatoes and oregano. As that simmers away, the linguine is dropped into briskly boiling water and cooked for about nine minutes. While the pasta is cooking, the shrimp is sautéed with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes in a little olive oil until it just turns pink. When the shrimp is cooked through, it's combined with the sauce and a handful of chopped fresh basil or Italian flat-leaf parsley then tossed with the linguine.

Tips:
- Prep before you start cooking: Chop the vegetables, marinate the shrimp, and measure the seasonings beforehand to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Use a large skillet: This allows for even cooking and prevents overcrowding, ensuring that the shrimp and vegetables cook properly.
- Cook the shrimp in batches if needed: If you have a lot of shrimp, cook them in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Overcrowding prevents even cooking and can result in steamed rather than sautéed shrimp.
- Adjust the heat: Regulate the heat throughout the cooking process. High heat for searing the shrimp and medium-high heat for cooking the vegetables.
- Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce towards the end of cooking helps maintain its flavor and prevents it from burning.
- Serve immediately: Shrimp with red and yellow peppers is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan, while the shrimp are still succulent and the vegetables retain their vibrant colors.
