Shrimp And Rice Stuffed Bell Peppers Recipes

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.

Fun Fact: Beauvoir (circa 1848-1851), located in Biloxi, Mississippi, is the retirement home of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America. The compound consisted of approximately 608 acres when Davis lived there (today, the site is approximately 52 acres in size). The name "Beauvoir" means "beautiful to view." The home faces the Gulf of Mexico and Spanish moss hangs from many of the large old trees on the property. Beauvoir and the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library suffered heavy damage from Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005. These two structures can and will be restored given time and funding. However, the Library pavilion (where Jefferson Davis penned "The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government"), the Hayes cottage, Soldier's Home Barracks replica, Confederate Soldier's Museum, Giftshop, and director's home were totally destroyed. Replicas of those buildings totally destroyed will be built after the restoration of Beauvoir House and Presidential Library are complete. Prior to Katrina, the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library maintained a collection of 12,000 books on United States history, southern history, and history of the American Civil War. The library also maintained collections of photographs, personal letters, manuscripts, envelopes, postcards, newspaper clippings, records of Confederate heritage organizations such as the United Confederate Veterans and the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and records from the Veterans home that once was present on the grounds. Many of these records survived, and the salvageability of the collections stands at about sixty percent.
