Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds medium-size raw shrimp
1 large sweet red pepper, cored and seeded
1 large green pepper, cored and seeded
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 teaspoons paprika
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons Cognac
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup drained plain yogurt
4 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander

Steps:

Shell and devein the shrimp.
Cut the red pepper into 1/2-inch cubes.
Slice the green pepper into 1 1/2-inch-long strips.
Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet. Add the shrimp, salt, pepper and paprika. Stir with a wooden spatula. When the shrimp become pink (they should take 2 to 3 minutes), remove them with a slotted spoon, leaving the cooking liquid in the pan.
In the same skillet, add the red and green peppers, shallots, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, about 3 to 4 minutes over medium-high heat. Add the Cognac, shrimp and any juices that have accumulated. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes more.
Add the sour cream and the yogurt. Blend well and check for seasoning. Add the chopped coriander, and bring to a simmer for about 30 seconds. Do not boil, or the sauce will separate. Serve immediately.
