Shrimp and Veggie Stew (Serves 4)
Two kinds of hot peppers, squash, and okra are cooked with shrimp in this tomato-based, spicy concoction.
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup lime juice
4 fresh jalapeno peppers
6 banana peppers
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups chopped okra
cooking spray:
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup sliced yellow squash
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
In a large resealable plastic bag, toss the shrimp with the lime juice to coat. Set aside.
Remove the seeds from 2 of the jalapeno peppers and 4 of the banana peppers. In a food processor, chop all the jalapeno peppers, all the banana peppers, onion, and okra.
Spray a large, deep skillet with cooking spray. Place the pepper mixture in the skillet, and cook and stir 5 minutes over medium heat. Mix in the diced tomatoes and juice, tomato paste, and squash. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes, until squash is tender. Season with thyme.
Mix the shrimp into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, and cook 5 minutes, until shrimp are opaque.
