OR
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1 teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorn
About 1 teaspoon salt
About 2 teaspoons (1/2 palm full) 5-spice powder
6 cloves garlic
1 inch ginger root
1 small head iceberg lettuce
Neutral oil, such as safflower or peanut oil
1 to 1 1/4 pounds (about 20) shrimp, deveined, head-on, unpeeled shrimp (Ask the fishmonger to devein but leave shrimp intact or do it yourself with small sharp knife.)
About 1/3 cup Shaoxing or dry sherry or white wine
1 lime, juiced
3 to 4 scallions, chopped
1 1/2 cups water
Salt
1 cup jasmine rice
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
6 to 8 large cloves garlic, 1 bulb
About 2 inches ginger root
About 3 tablespoons sesame oil
1/2 cup Shaoxing Chinese rice wine or dry sherry or white wine
About 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
About 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
About 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 bunch scallions, sliced into 1-inch pieces
2 cups loosely packed Thai basil or 12 basil leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Gather your ingredients.
  • For the shrimp: Combine the peppers, salt and 5-spice powder in a small bowl or ramekin. Crush the garlic with a hard whack of the knife placed flat over the cloves and hitting them with the heel of your hand. Peel away the skins and clean away the hard root ends. Peel and grate or slice or chop the ginger root. Core and quarter the lettuce and reserve half for another use. Shred the remaining lettuce very thinly and line a platter with it.
  • Heat the oil, 2 slow turns of the pan, in a large, shallow nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the garlic and swirl. Add shrimp and cook, tossing the shrimp until pink and opaque or firm, 4 to 5 minutes. Add Shaoxing or alternative and lime juice and swirl to absorb into shrimp, 1 minute. Top with scallions. Slide the shrimp onto the lettuce.
  • For the chicken and rice: Heat the water for rice in a 3-quart saucepot to a boil. Salt water, add rice and reduce heat to simmer. Cook rice covered for 15 minutes, shaking pan occasionally. Turn off heat and fluff with fork.
  • Cut chicken into large bite-size pieces. Pop skins of garlic and halve the cloves. Peel ginger with tip of a teaspoon. Julienne the ginger into thin sticks or very thinly slice it into rounds.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil, garlic and ginger; do not let them brown, swirl constantly a minute or 2. Then add the chicken and tuck the garlic and ginger in between. Let the chicken brown 3 to 4 minutes. Turn, add rice wine, dark and light soy sauces, light brown sugar and scallions and reduce heat to simmer. Cover and braise about 12 minutes.
  • Uncover the chicken and raise heat to thicken sauce a bit. Add basil to serve.
  • Serve the chicken from the pan and transfer the rice to a bowl.

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 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 WITH RED AND YELLOW PEPPERS



Shrimp With Red and Yellow Peppers image

Make and share this Shrimp With Red and Yellow Peppers recipe from Food.com.

Provided by MarraMamba

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:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp.
  • Clean the shrimp properly. Remove the heads, shells, and tails from the shrimp. Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Marinate the shrimp. Marinating helps to tenderize the shrimp and imparts flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.
  • Cook the shrimp over high heat. This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them. Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp are best served hot off the grill or out of the pan. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

If you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, 3-pepper shrimp is a great option. This dish can be made in under 30 minutes and it's packed with flavor. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with peppers, garlic, and ginger. You can serve 3-pepper shrimp over rice, noodles, or vegetables.
