Add Step-by-Step Photos	Coffeebean53 / All my dishes 1 year ago This is an easy "Thai style" dish that I found to make. It's not as hot as the traditional Thai food but has just enough heat so you know it's there. One of our family favorites. Photo courtesy of photobucket.com Prep:10m Cook:20m Servings:4	Coffeebean5

1 pound fresh or frozen shrimp in shells, I use "easy-peel"

1 cup long grain rice

1/4 cup orange marmalade

2 tablespoons peanut butter

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

1 tablespoon cooking oil

2 medium red, yellow, and/or green sweet peppers, cut into strips (about 2-1/2 cups)

6 green onions, bias-sliced into 1-inch pieces

Chopped peanuts (optional)

Directions

1. Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Peel and devein shrimp; rinse and pat dry. Set aside.

2. Cook rice according to package directions.

3. Meanwhile, for sauce, in a small bowl stir together water, orange marmalade, peanut butter, soy sauce, cornstarch, and crushed red pepper. Set aside.

4. Pour cooking oil into a wok or large skillet. (Add more oil as necessary during cooking.) Preheat on medium-high heat. Add pepper strips and green onions; stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove and set aside.

5. Add half of the shrimp to wok; stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp turn opaque; remove and set aside. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.

6. Stir sauce; add to center of wok. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat; keep sauce warm.

7. In a 4-quart Dutch oven or kettle combine cooked rice, vegetable mixture, and shrimp; cook over medium heat until heated through, tossing gently to mix. Serve shrimp mixture on dinner plates. Top with sauce. If desired, sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Makes 4 servings.
