Shrimp Stuffed Green Peppers Recipes

SHRIMP STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Begin by making rice so it can be ready when shrimp sauce is ready.
• Slice 6 red bell peppers in half. Remove ribs and seeds. Rinse peppers. Place them in boiling water to parboil them for about 5 minutes. Remove from water and arrange in a large casserole dish.
• Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium high heat.
• Season shrimp with creole seasoning.
• Add shrimp and saute until shrimp are cooked through about 3 to 5 minutes. (At this point, it may be necessary to discard extra liquid out of the pot. A little liquid is fine to leave. My shrimp were just defrosted so I had a lot of liquid to take out).
• Remove shrimp to a bowl.
• Add a little more oil to pot, and saute onion, green peppers, and garlic. Season with a little more creole seasoning. Saute until onions are clear about 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium low and add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, cream of mushroom and stir.
• Add shrimp back to sauce and stir.
• Stir in cooked rice. Turn off heat.
• Fill each pepper with a good amount of shrimp mixture.
• Pour about 1//2 cup of water into the bottom of casserole dish (or both dishes if using two). This is to allow the peppers and the rest of the dish to continue to steam a little.
• Cover casserole dish with foil and seal tightly.
• Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Carefully remove foil (be careful of steam) and top with a little shredded cheese and fresh parsley.

STUFFED GREEN PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Add about 2 inches of water to a large pot fitted with a steamer insert, and bring to a high simmer. Arrange the peppers in the steamer, cover the pot and cook, rotating the peppers as needed, until they are very tender and pliable, about 25 minutes. Remove the peppers with a slotted spoon, and drain upside-down on paper towels.
• Put the oil, onions and a pinch of salt in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the beef, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper, and cook, stirring and breaking the beef up, until browned and mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat. Let cool in the skillet for at least 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, add the rice, parsley, 1 cup of the mozzarella, breadcrumbs, eggs and Worcestershire and mix to combine.
• Stand the peppers up in a 9-by-13 inch baking dish. If they fall over, cut away a little of the bottoms (without cutting through the pepper) to make a flat surface.
• Generously fill and pack the peppers with the meat-rice mixture. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella. Add just enough water to the pan to cover the bottom to help steam the peppers. Loosely cover with foil, and bake until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil, and continue to bake for 10 minutes more.
