Ingredients
10 oz Tail-On Shrimp (Peeled & Deveined)
4 oz Grape Tomatoes
4 oz Sweet Peppers
2 each Scallions
1 each Lime
1 tbsp Capers
1 oz Sliced Pickled Jalapeño Peppers
1 tsp Whole Dried Oregano
2 tbsp Golden Raisins
2 tbsp Verjus Rouge
½ cup Brown Rice
How to make it
1
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rice and cook uncovered 17-19 minutes until tender. Drain and return to the pot.
2
Rinse and dry all produce. Remove the stems and cores from the sweet peppers; halve lengthwise and thinly slice crosswise. Trim the scallion root ends and thinly slice, keeping white bases and green tops separate. Halve the tomatoes; place in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Zest the lime to get 1 teaspoon. Quarter the lime. Roughly chop the jalapeno. Wash hands immediately after.
3
Pat the shrimp dry. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high. Add the sliced sweet peppers and white scallion bases; season. Cook stirring occasionally 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the seasoned tomatoes, oregano, raisins, capers, verjus (it may spatter), 1/4 cup water, and as much jalapeno as you like; season. Cook stirring frequently and smashing the tomatoes 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
4
Lay the shrimp in an even layer on top of the sauce; season. Loosely cover with foil and cook undisturbed 2-3 minutes until slightly opaque. Remove the foil and continue stirring occasionally 1-2 minutes until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat. Stir in the juice of 2 lime wedges. Taste and season.
5
Add the lime zest and 2 teaspoons olive oil to the rice; season and stir. Serve the shrimp and sauce over the rice. Top with the green scallion tops. Offer the remaining lime wedges on the side.
