SHRIMP-STUFFED CHILES

Steps:

• Pour enough vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet to come 1/2 inch up the sides of the pan and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Add the chiles and fry, turning frequently, until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and set aside.
• In a separate pan, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onions and saute until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add the bell peppers and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Season the filling with salt and pepper.
• Cut a lengthwise slit in each chile and carefully scoop out the seeds, leaving the stem intact. (For milder heat, carefully cut out the ribs.) Divide the shrimp filling among the chiles, then close, overlapping the sides of each opening slightly.
• On a shallow serving platter, toss the cucumber, sliced onions, soy sauce and lime juice and spread out on the platter. Arrange the chiles, seam-side up, on top of the salad and serve.

SHRIMP STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Parboil peppers for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Turn upside down to drain. Saute garlic and onion in the olive oil (or butter) until softened. Add water and 1/4 t salt; bring to boil. Stir in couscous and take pot off heat. Cover and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork; mix in Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, salt, pepper and shrimp. Place peppers in greased baking dish and fill with shrimp mixture. Toss the crumbled bread in melted butter and put on top of peppers. Put small amount of water in bottom of dish and bake peppers 350 degrees, loosely covered with foil, for about 15 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake an additional 15-20 minutes until heated through and crumbs are lightly browned. (This is a great dish to make ahead, refrigerate, then pop in the oven when you get home from work. Will need additional baking time).
