Spicy Three Pepper Shrimp

This is an easy weeknight recipe for 2 or 3 that has loads of flavor. As written, it's pretty spicy for the grown-ups, but can be toned down to suit your spice tolerance. I serve it over saffron rice.

• Ready In: 36 mins
• Serves: 2-3

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons olive oil (divided)
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 1⁄2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1  teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1  dash ground black pepper
• 1  lb jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1  red bell pepper, sliced and cut in half horizontally
• 1  tablespoon  finely chopped fresh cilantro
• 2  cups  prepared saffron rice

Directions

1. Combine 1 tbsp olive oil and the next 6 ingredients, garlic through shrimp. Stir and let rest for at least 15 minutes. If refrigerated, the mixture can rest up to two hours.
2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and saute about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp mixture and saute for 5 - 6 minutes, or until shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp.
3. Sprinkle the cilantro on the shrimp and serve with the rice.
