SHRIMP STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Begin by making rice so it can be ready when shrimp sauce is ready.

• Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium high heat.
• Season shrimp with creole seasoning.
• Add shrimp and saute until shrimp are cooked through about 3 to 5 minutes. (At this point, it may be necessary to discard extra liquid out of the pot. A little liquid is fine to leave. My shrimp were just defrosted so I had a lot of liquid to take out).
• Remove shrimp to a bowl.
• Add a little more oil to pot, and saute onion, green peppers, and garlic. Season with a little more creole seasoning. Saute until onions are clear about 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium low and add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, cream of mushroom and stir.
• Add shrimp back to sauce and stir.
• Stir in cooked rice. Turn off heat.
• Fill each pepper with a good amount of shrimp mixture.
• Pour about 1//2 cup of water into the bottom of casserole dish (or both dishes if using two). This is to allow the peppers and the rest of the dish to continue to steam a little.

• Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Carefully remove foil (be careful of steam) and top with a little shredded cheese and fresh parsley.

SEAFOOD STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• PREPARATION: Mince shrimp with fish and green onion until texture is a fine paste. Add remainder of seafood mixture and mix well. Wash and cut bell peppers in halves lengthwise. Seed them but do not wash the inside (stuffing will adhere better). Cut each half into quarters. Fill with seafood mixture. Lightly sprinkle with paprika powder. Cook sauce mixture in a separate sauce pan. COOKING: In a 10 inch or 12 inch skillet, heat 1 or 2 tbsp. oil at medium high heat. Brown stuffed pepper, filling side down, for 1 minute or a little longer until slightly brown. Add 1/2 cup chicken stock and turn stuffed pepper filling side up. Continue cooking at medium high heat for 2-3 minutes. (If broth evaporates too fast, add a little more. There should be very little broth left.) Add the cooked sauce mixture. Heat for another minute or so until sauce is bubbly. Transfer stuffed peppers to serving platter an d pour sauce over them. Serve hot. DO AHEAD NOTES: Do through preparation. COMMENTS: The stuffing can be made entirely of fish. Ms. Yee finds the shrimp give it extra flavor. If you would like to spice up the sauce, add 1/2 to 1 tsp. chili oil and 1/2 tsp. vinegar to the mixture. Wow! Source: "Dim Sum" by Rhoda Fong Yee. Formatted for MM by Karen Adler FNGP13B.
