Flavorful and quick shrimp with bell peppers in soy sauce and chili for a slightly spicy taste. The idea was to replicate salt and pepper shrimp, but knowing I didn’t have the right shrimp, actually prawns, already peeled, I thought I’d make a small variation, and yes, in the end, we liked them so much that I thought I’d share the recipe, even better than the classic salt and pepper shrimp and then there’s no issue with peeling them. The dish is prepared in a few minutes, also great as a pasta topping or on a bruschetta for a tasty appetizer, perfect for those with little time who want to eat tasty, healthy, and light. Too bad I didn’t brown the shrimp first, maybe next time, using nice big shrimp first dusted with flour and seasoned with plenty of black pepper.

Steps to Prepare Spicy Shrimp with Bell Peppers
Chop onion and bell peppers into cubes.
Add a drizzle of oil to the pan, add the onion, and let it stew lightly over low heat.
Add the bell peppers and let them cook for a few minutes. Also, add finely chopped chili pepper and ground black pepper.
When the bell peppers are ready, crunchy, or softer if you prefer, add the well-dried shrimp, salt, and soy sauce, allow to season for a minute, do not overcook to avoid toughening the shrimp. We are ready to serve.
Even better if we use shrimp seasoned with salt, pepper, and floured, browned in a little oil, and added finally to season with the bell peppers.
