Shrimp with Green Peas

Shrimp with Green Peas
Shrimp with Green Peas, I love the blend of colors of this dish. This is not only visually appealing it is yummy as well. It’s another quick and easy dish, I used fresh pre-cooked and shelled shrimp for this recipe. To make the dish different I added turmeric and paprika. I also add some snow peas for additional vegetables. If fresh shrimps are not available frozen shrimps is a good alternative. Here is the recipe.

Shrimp with Green Peas with Turmeric

Ingredients:

1/4 kilo pre-cooked and shelled shrimp
1 small size red or green bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup pre-cooked green peas
1 cup snow peas, trimmed
1-2 pcs. red chili, sliced
1/4-1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
1/4-1/2 tsp. paprika powder
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 head garlic chopped
1 tsp. grated ginger
salt and pepper
cooking oil

Cooking procedure:
Shrimp with Green Peas - Pre-cooked Shrimps

Heat wok until it start to smoke, add about 2 tbsp. cooking oil. Add in garlic and ginger, stir cook for about half a minute. Then add in the vegetables and stir cook for 2 to 3 minutes, remove from wok and keep aside. Using the same wok stir cook the shrimp for a minute, add in the turmeric and paprika stir cook for a minute then add 1/2 cup of water let boil and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, season with salt and pepper to taste. Now add in the vegetables and continue to stir cook for a minute. Thicken sauce with cornstarch diluted in 1/4 cup of water cook for another minute. Serve immediately.

    @hungrynez,
    I bought the shrimp pre-cooked and peeled already, so it was a quick one, I wanted the sauce to have some color and I though I used turmeric and paprika. Thanks for the visit.

    This is another recipe that I will try. Thanks so much for putting up this website! It really helps me manage my household and adds a bit of zest in our overseas life here in Canada. Before puro na lang adobo, kaldereta, roast chicken at puro simple meals na lang ang niluluto ko. Ngayon may variety na!

Champeni of Batangas . Champeni or champene, sampeni or sampene , whats in a name, the important is, this goat or beef innards dish is a must try when you are in Batangas . I could not really confirm the common name of this delectable dish. Based on people that I have met and places and that I have visited in Batangas , the pronunciation varies. Even the cooking procedures and ingredients differ depending on the locality in Batangas . These are usually based on every family cooking practice, type and availability of ingredients, similar to the Batangas Kaldereta there are countless versions out there.

At this point can I ask our readers from Batangas to share with us mor...

Turbo Crispy Pata

Turbo Crispy Pata . “Turbo” in Pinoy cooking refers to a dish cooked in turbo broiler , the most common is turbo chicken . On this post I want to share how to turbo cook crispy pata . This post is actually overdue, several readers have been asking if I had tried to cook crispy pata using the turbo broiler on my first crispy pata recipe a few years back. Click this link Crispy Pata , to see that post. If you are interested there is also a bonelsee version in the archives, click the link Boneless Crispy Pata to see that post. Ok back to my Turbo Crispy Pata , the idea of cooking crispy pata using the turbo broiler is to drain out or at least reduce the fats. With turbo crispy pata we have a healthier version . However the turbo crispy pata would not have the usual crisp skin with moist and succulent meat of a traditionally deep fried crispy pata . At least it is easier to cook, you won’t be dealing with splashes of hot oil. Remember this was my first attempt, th...
