1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced
2 tomatillos, papery skin removed, minced (optional)
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
2 tablespoon minced fresh oregano, or 1 tablespoon crumbled dried
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons chipolte pepper flakes, or to taste (optional)
1/4 cup red wine or white wine
1 bay leaf
2 cups chopped peeled tomatoes, fresh or canned

This recipe comes from a little restaurant in my town that my husband and I LOVE! One of the employees entered this recipe in a contest and they published it in our newspaper...I couldn't believe it when I found the recipe for our favorite appetizer from our favorite restaurant! It is on the menu as an appetizer but when I prepare it at home I serve it with rice and it is a main dish.

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood: Fresh shrimp and scallops will give your dish the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh seafood, frozen seafood is also a good option.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick and sticky: The sweet chili sauce should be thick and sticky, so it will coat the seafood and rice. If the sauce is too thin, it will be runny and won't adhere to the seafood.
  • Serve with rice: Sweet chili shrimp and scallops is traditionally served with rice. The rice helps to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • Garnish with green onions: Green onions add a pop of color and flavor to the dish. They are a great way to finish off the dish.

Conclusion:

Sweet chili shrimp and scallops is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve this dish with rice and a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
