Pepper Shrimps
Ingredients 1 lb shrimp 1 tsp soy sauce 1 tbsp grated ginger 1 med. sweet pepper 1 small carrot 1 hot pepper 2 pimento peppers 2 cloves garlic, grated 4 leaves chadon beni, chopped 1 small onion 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 1 tsp lime juice 2 chives (divided), chopped 1 tbsp sesame oil 1/2 cup ketchup water Cooking Directions Devein the shrimp leaving the shell on. Wash and drain Season with ginger, pimento pepper, garlic, black pepper, chadon beni, lime juice, 1 chive and salt. Take a fork and scour the sides of the carrot. Note: We are doing this to make a pattern. Cut the carrot into 1/8 ” slices Cut the onion in four. Then cut each piece in half. Separate the onion layers. Cut up the hot pepper and chive. Heat the oil in the wok over a medium flame. Add the hot pepper and fry for 1 minute. Note: Frying hot pepper releases noxious fumes which can burn your eyes and make you cough and sneeze so be careful. I actually had to take the photograph quickly and run out of the kitchen but I still ended up with watery eyes and had an uncontrollable sneeze! (*sniff, sniff, Achoo!*) lol! Add the shrimp and stir fry for 1 minute. Add about 1/4 cup of ketchup, soy sauce and a little water… Then add the onion, chive, sweet pepper and carrots Add 1/4 cup ketchup and 1/4 cup water. Stir Cover and simmer for 2 minutes Garnish with a sprig of chive. Now you know how to make Trini style pepper shrimp. I hope it was a wonderful experience for you.
