PEPERONATA: SPICY SHRIMP
This was made using a few different recipes and with what we had in the refrigerator - it was on a Sunday evening and I felt the need to do something, so we decided to test cook a few recipes. We made a Peperonata- an Italian condiment made of sauteed peppers (all colors) tomatoes, onions and garlic, and we spiced it up with a Scotch Bonnet pepper (cooked whole) & a thinly sliced Poblano. This we served Mexican-Style with warm tortillas with slices of avocado and dollops of sour cream. It was very delicious and we enjoyed it immensely! This would also be fabulous served Italian-Style over polenta à la Lidia Batianich!.

Steps:
- MAKE DRESSING:.
- Whisk 4 T oil, lime juice (the real stuff), fresh parsely or mint and coriander in medium bowl.
- Season dressing with salt & pepper and if using the Scotch Bonnet pepper , whole - that way you'll get the flavor and not the heat.
- SHRIMP & PEPPERONATA:.
- Heat remaining 2 T oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add bell peppers, poblano chile, & onion to skillet; sprinkle vegetables with salt & pepper.
- Toss until tender and just begining to cook for 2-3 minutes - now add the shrimp and toss until they turn pink - 2-3 minutes at the most.
- Cover and cook 1 minute.
- Remove from heat.
- Mix in 2 T of dressing after you have removed the Scotch Bonnet, if using.
- Then place the shrimp atop a plate with vegetables and serve with leftover dressing.
- Serve with crusty grilled bread, polenta, or as a wrap and if you really want to go way out - serve as a Surf & Turf meal.,.
