Grilled Red Pepper Dip with Shrimp image

The sauce for this easy shrimp appetizer can also be used with grilled fish or chicken.

Provided by BHG Test Kitchen

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pound fresh or frozen jumbo shrimp in shells (about 32)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium red sweet peppers or 16 whole green onions, trimmed
1 8 ounce carton dairy sour cream
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails intact, if desired. Thread shrimp onto eight 8-inch skewers, leaving 1/4-inch space between pieces (you should have 3 to 4 shrimp per skewer). Brush lightly with some of the olive oil; set aside.
  • Lightly brush sweet peppers or onions with remaining olive oil. For a charcoal grill, grill shrimp skewers and vegetables on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill shrimp for 9 to 11 minutes or until shrimp turn opaque, turning once halfway through; grill peppers for 15 minutes or until charred, turning occasionally. Grill onions about 5 minutes or until limp and slightly charred, turning once halfway through. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place peppers or onions, and shrimp directly over heat. Cover and grill as above.) Wrap peppers in foil and let stand about 15 minutes or until cool and skin loosens. Remove stems and seeds from peppers. Using a sharp paring knife, peel peppers. Place shrimp skewers on a tray; cover and chill in the refrigerator 1 to 24 hours.
  • In a blender or food processor combine peppers or onions, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Cover and blend or process with a few on/off turns to coarsely chop the mixture. Transfer to a small bowl. (Or, coarsely chop the vegetables. In a small bowl stir together the sour cream, vegetables, salt, and black pepper.) Cover and chill in the refrigerator 1 to 24 hours. Serve dip with shrimp on skewers. Makes 8 servings (about 1-1/2 cups dip).

SHRIMP AND BELL PEPPER STIR FRY



Shrimp and Bell Pepper Stir Fry image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

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.

Provided by Mezzetta

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

20 medium raw shrimps, peeled and deveined, tails removed if desired
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 jar Mezzetta® Roasted Red Bell Peppers, drained
¼ cup Mezzetta® Sun-Ripened Dried Tomatoes in Olive Oil, drained, divided
1 clove garlic
½ tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
¼ teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 pinch red pepper flakes
¼ cup olive oil
2 shallots, diced
½ lb linguine, dried, cooked according to package instructions
¼ cup shaved parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • To season the shrimp: In a medium bowl, add the shrimp and sprinkle with the salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
  • Make the roasted red bell pepper sauce: Add Mezzetta® Roasted Red Bell Peppers, 2 tablespoons Mezzetta® Sun-Ripened Dried Tomatoes in Olive Oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, and olive oil to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
  • Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Working in batches if needed, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook undisturbed for about 90 seconds, or until golden brown. Flip and cook for another minute, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Without wiping out the pan, reduce the heat medium, and add the shallots. Slice the remaining 2 tablespoons Mezzetta® Sun-Ripened Dried Tomatoes in Olive Oil into thin strips and add to the shallots. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes, or until the shallots soften.
  • Pour the roasted red bell pepper sauce into the pan and stir gently until simmering. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-8 minutes, until the sauce reduces slightly. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
  • Toss the cooked linguine in the sauce, then divide onto serving plates. Top each with the shrimp and garnish with the shaved Parmesan and parsley.
  • Enjoy!
