Peppery Shrimp Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In a medium saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat and saute the diced pepperoni until it releases some of its oil, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining oil and garlic and lower the heat to medium-low. Let flavors infuse over the low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix together the adobo, paprika, and cayenne. Add the shrimp and coat them evenly with the spices. Let rest for 15 minutes on the counter to come to room temperature. Add the shrimp to the garlic oil, raise heat slightly to cook, stirring and turning to cook the shrimp evenly, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve as an appetizer with toothpicks and crusty chewy bread, for sopping.

Steps:

• Peel, devein, and butterfly the shrimp. Mix all other ingredients thoroughly and taste for seasoning. Divide into 12 and stuff the back of each shrimp. Close shrimp and let chill for 30 minutes.
• Preheat frying oil in a deep figur or Dutch oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together rice flour, water, salt, and pepper. Dip each shrimp into batter, letting excess drip off. Lower into frying oil and cook for about 2 minutes. Remove from oil, drain, and serve with pepper jelly sauce.
• HOT PEPPER JELLY SAUCE: Place wine, vinegar, hot sauce, and shallots in a small pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 1/4 cup, then whisk in jelly. Over low heat, whisk in butter 1 tablespoon at a time until sauce is creamy in consistency. Taste for seasoning, add salt and adjust to taste by adding a little vinegar, jelly or hot sauce. Keep warm.

Steps:

• Shake all ingredients except 1 tsp oil in a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate 4 to 6 hours. Drain with a sieve; shake off excess marinade. Heat remaining 1 tsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook shrimp in single-layer batches until pink, about 3 to 5 minutes, shaking pan to turn shrimp. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Shell and devein the shrimp. Set aside.
• Cut onions in half lengthwise. Place each half cut side down on a flat surface and slice thinly. There should be about 2 1/2 cups. Set aside.
• Cut away and discard cores from the peppers. Cut peppers in half lengthwise. Remove and discard seeds and veins. Place each pepper half on a flat surface and cut each half crosswise into thin strips. There should be about 4 cups. Set aside.
• Cut way and discard cores of the tomatoes. Cut tomatoes into small cubes. There should be about 2 cups. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a heavy skillet and add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add pepper strips and bay leaf, thyme, salt, pepper and dried pepper flakes and stir. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring, and add tomatoes. Cook 1 minute. Add wine and vinegar. Cover and cook about 5 minutes.
• Add the shrimp and stir. Cover and let cook about 2 minutes. Stir in the basil and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high. Add the black peppercorns and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the onion and half the scallions, and sauté, scraping the bottom of the pot as necessary, until the onions turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the green and red bell peppers and sauté until they begin to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shrimp and sauté for 1 minute, then stir in 2 cups water, the soy sauce and fish sauce (if using). Bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp just until they turn pink, about 2 minutes. (Keep an eye on them: The shrimp can turn rubbery quickly.)
• Working quickly as the liquid cooks, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl to form a slurry. Add this mixture to the saucepan as soon as the shrimp turns pink, and cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and add more soy sauce, to taste, if desired. Garnish with the cilantro and remaining scallions. Serve hot or warm with rice.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
