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 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.

SHRIMP WITH GARLIC AND CHILI PEPPER



Shrimp with Garlic and Chili Pepper image

Provided by Nigella Lawson : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 7m

Yield 1 servings or 4 appetizer portions

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 fresh red chile, according to size and taste, minced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 pound unshelled medium shrimp
1/2 cup white wine
Salt, if needed
1 tablespoon chopped parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Pour the olive oil into a wide, heavy-bottomed frying pan. Then add the chile and garlic and, over moderate to low heat, to infuse rather than to color, fry for 2 minutes, stirring all the time. Then turn the heat to high, add the shrimp, and stir-fry them for another 2 minutes or until they turn pink and are just, delicately, cooked; you want the flesh to stay tender. Pour in the white wine and let it bubble up. You don't want a liquid puddle around the shrimp, just enough wine to let the juices ooze into a winy sauce. Another minute or so should do it. Season with the salt, if necessary, and then turn into your bowl and sprinkle with parsley. Eat with some good hunks of baguette. I eat these carapace, head, and all: one of the reasons I designate them for solitary dinner.
  • If you want, you can add a tablespoonful or so of brandy before throwing in the wine.

Tips for Cooking Shrimp with Peppers:

  • Choose the Right Shrimp: Opt for fresh or frozen shrimp that are deveined and peeled for convenience. Look for medium-sized shrimp, as they cook quickly and evenly.
  • Clean and Prep the Peppers: Cut bell peppers into thin strips or slices for even cooking. Remove the seeds and ribs to reduce bitterness.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with seasonings! Garlic, paprika, smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder are all great options for adding flavor to the dish.
  • Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Cook them just until they turn opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add Vegetables for Crunch: To add more texture and nutrients to the dish, consider incorporating other vegetables like onions, zucchini, or broccoli.

Conclusion:

Shrimp with peppers is a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish.
