Shrimp With Peppers Recipes

SLOW SHRIMP WITH MARINATED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Marinated peppers: While shrimp are brining, prepare the pepper. Place pepper directly over a high gas flame; use tongs to rotate pepper until the entire surface is charred, about 10 minutes. (Alternatively, roast under the broiler, turning occasionally with tongs to char evenly.) Place charred pepper in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap; let rest to loosen skin, 15 minutes.
• Remove plastic wrap and place pepper on a work surface. Use a kitchen towel to gently rub off the charred skin. Tear pepper in half and discard the stem and seeds. Slice into ¼-inch strips, then cut strips into 1-inch segments. Set aside in a bowl.
• In a small saucepan over very low heat, add oil, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, and lemon peel. Heat until warm and aromatic, 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and pour contents over peppers. Stir to make sure peppers are fully submerged, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator, 6-12 hours. Makes 1½ cups. (Store in a lidded container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.)
• Slow shrimp: Drain brined shrimp in a colander, then place on a towel and roll it up to dry the shrimp. Add shrimp, olive oil, and butter to a skillet. Turn heat to medium-low and start stirring, slowly rolling shrimp and butter around the pan. The shrimp should cook at around the same speed the butter melts. Cook until the shrimp are pink and the butter has completely melted into a thick, rich sauce, 6-7 minutes. Turn off heat and fold in two heaping tablespoons of drained peppers. Add lemon juice, stir to combine, and serve, garnished with additional peppers.
• In a bowl, add the water and salt; stir to dissolve salt. Add ice cubes, followed by the shrimp. Stir so shrimp are evenly distributed and allow to bring, 15 minutes.

SHRIMP WITH RED AND YELLOW PEPPERS

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.
