Shrimp / Prawn Bell Pepper Stir Fry

Majority seafood lovers like prawns or shrimps. I am a huge fan of shrimp dishes. I experimented this with minimal stuffs as I wanted to get the real flavors unlike curry or gravy. It turned out to be good and my friends wanted the recipe. So here is it for them.

The two main ingredients are Cleaned deveined shrimps and Sliced Red Bell Pepper or you may use any or multi-color your choice. Preparation would take somewhat time compared to the 5 mins cooking time.

Other Ingredients:

• Garlic - Sliced and crushed lightly. Not chopped or paste
• Ginger - sliced and crushed like garlic
• Light Soy Sauce - 4 to 5 t.spn (you should be using very little if you use dark soy sauce)
• Lemon juice - from one large lemon 
• Sugar - 1 tspn
• Red chili + green chili sauce - 1 t.spn each
• Black pepper and chili flakes to taste
• Vinegar - 1 - 2 t.spn
• Salt to taste
• Water - as required
• Oil for cooking (2 - 3 tb.spn) - You may use any oil, Veg / Olive / Peanut / Canola 
• Spring onion for garnish.

Preparation:

1. Marinate the shrimps with little salt and lime juice, keep the rest for sauce
2. In a bowl add all sauces, lime juice, pepper, chili flakes, sugar, little water & salt, 1 t.spn vinegar. Mix well and adjust seasoning accordingly. 
3. Heat oil in a pan or wok, saute ginger garlic for about 20 sec on high heat
4. Add in the shrimp cook them for about 30 secs, sauteing continuously to prevent burning. 
5. Add in the sauce and bring to a boil. Add the bell peppers. 
6. Saute & toss, so that shrimp absorbs most of the sauce. 
7. Add rest of vinegar at this time, and check seasoning.
8. Turn off heat, sprinkle spring onion. Serve as starter or side dish.

Note:

• Add salt little by little while making sauce. As salt is been added to prawns & all sauces contain salt.
• Do not overcook, as this would turn the shrimps hard and rubbery
• You may omit or change any sauces as you prefer.
• Bell peppers are added later to retain the crunchiness
