How to Make Peperonata Shrimp

  1. Roast red peppers (if using fresh): Roast over a gas flame or under a broiler until charred. Steam in a sealed bag for 10 minutes, then peel, seed, and thinly slice.
  2. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and dust lightly with flour.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and sauté for 3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes, until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  5. Stir in chicken broth, red wine vinegar, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in salt, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes.
  7. Add the roasted red peppers and cooked shrimp to the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
  8. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately. Enjoy!
