FIRECRACKER SHRIMP AND RICE

Steps:

• Whisk together the brown sugar, orange juice, hot sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Dry the shrimp well with paper towels and add to a large bowl. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the shrimp and toss to coat.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry the shrimp in the hot oil until pink, about 1 minute per side. Add the ginger and garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sauce mixture, rice and scallions and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes.
• Top with more red pepper flakes, a drizzle of sriracha and cilantro leaves.

• Add salt and pepper to taste.

SHRIMP AND RICE STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Cut tops off peppers and remove the seeds and ribs.
• Cook brown and white rices. Set aside. While rice is cooking, drizzle olive oil in a pan and sautee shrimp over medium heat.
• When shrimp are pink, remove shrimp from the pan. Cut shrimp into bite-sized pieces.
• Combine rices and the spices in pan and let simmer. Add shrimp to pan. Also add tomato sauce. Cook over medium heat.
• Add bread crumbs and 1/2 the parmesan cheese.
• Stuff peppers graciously and top with the remaining parmesan cheese.
• Cook in casserole dish for 15-20 minutes, until the parmesan cheese is melted and bubbling.

SHRIMP AND BELL PEPPER STIR FRY

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 FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil and swirl to coat the wok. Add the shrimp and stir-fry just until pink, about 2 minutes. Remove shrimp and reserve. Add eggs to wok and scramble until set, but still slightly runny. Remove from pan, breaking into bite-sized pieces, and wipe wok clean.
• Return wok to heat, add remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil, and swirl to coat the wok. Reduce the heat to medium-high, add the onions, garlic, and ginger and stir-fry until onion is half-cooked, 1 minute. Add the red pepper and stir-fry until just tender but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Add the cold rice, quickly spreading it all over the wok and tossing it to heat through, then fry for about 5 to 7 minutes. (Add a little more oil if the rice is sticking.) When the rice is hot, add the peas and toss to heat through, about 1 minute. Add the pork, reserved shrimp, eggs, and salt, and stir fry to heat thoroughly, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately on a large platter.

SALT AND PEPPER SHRIMP AND 3-CUP CHICKEN WITH RICE

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.

ONE-POT SPICED SHRIMP AND RICE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until onion is slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add roasted red peppers and salt; season with black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is jammy, 8-10 minutes. Add olives, tomato paste, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, until paste is slightly darkened in color, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, crushing with your hands as you go, and their liquid and cook, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes.
• While the sauce is cooking, pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Stir rice, cumin, and turmeric into sauce, then pour in broth. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Cover pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, adjusting heat to low to maintain a simmer if needed, until rice is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed, about 15 minutes.
• Uncover pot and stir in reserved shrimp. Re-cover pot and cook until shrimp are opaque throughout, about 3 minutes.
• Divide shrimp and rice among bowls and top with parsley.

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.

BELL PEPPERS WITH SHRIMP AND COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°. In a medium pan over medium heat, heat oil. Cook ginger and garlic, 1 minute. Add rice and cook, 2 minutes. Add milk, 1 1/4 cups water, zest, sugar, salt and black pepper and bring to a low boil; stir and cover. Reduce heat to simmer, 10 minutes. Stir in shrimp; cover and cook until shrimp are opaque, 5 minutes. In a large pot, bring 8 inches of water to a low boil. Cut off top third of each bell pepper and reserve; remove ribs and seeds. Boil peppers and tops until slightly soft, 5 minutes; place upside down on a paper towel-lined plate. Stir juice, basil and cashews into rice mixture. Place bell peppers open side up in a baking dish with tops alongside; stuff with rice mixture. Pour an inch of water in bottom of dish. Cover with foil and bake until warm, 15 minutes.
