Ingredients
4
sweet peppers
2-3
spicy peppers
(optional)
2
medium
onions
(chopped)
¼
cup
olive oil
(or coconut oil or butter)
3
medium
summer squash
1
lb
precooked shrimp
(thawed)
1
tsp
salt
½
tsp
black pepper
1
tsp
coriander
1
tsp
cumin
½
tsp
garlic powder
4
oz
cream cheese
(optional)
Instructions
Thinly slice the peppers and onions.
Melt olive oil, coconut oil, or butter in a skillet or wok on medium-high heat.
Toss in the onions and peppers and saute.
While the onions and peppers are cooking, peel the squash and cut down the middle lengthwise.
Cut the squash into long strips and then into ½ inch pieces.
Add them to the skillet or wok.
Saute for 10 minutes or until almost cooked.
Throw in the defrosted, precooked shrimp.
Stir in the spices.
Continue cooking until the shrimp are heated.
Add the cream cheese if using and stir well to melt.
Serve immediately.
Notes
You can use raw shrimp, but it may be a little extra work -- they will need to be peeled, cleaned, and the tails removed.
