CHEESY SHRIMP-STUFFED CORNO DI TORO PEPPERS
Here are some ideas for using what is at-hand to create an excellent stuffed pepper dish. I used some exotic ingredients, left-over from a party, in the original recipe; ingrediets such as Boursin cheese and corno di toro peppers, but I have translated them into their more usual counterparts for this recipe. For example, fully ripe red Corno di Toro (or Bull's Horn) peppers, which come from my garden, have a complex flavor both sweet and mildly spicy. Substitute poblanos for more heat and spice, or use hot banana or Anaheim peppers for even more heat. If you prefer mild peppers, substitute sweet Italian (aka Italianelles or Italian frying peppers), bells, or cubanelle peppers. I am indebted to TheTravelCook for her permission to use this recipe from the blog Brainfood.

Steps:
- Place poblanos or cubanelles under a broiler on high, in the oven, or on a very hot grill. (NOTE: Roast or grill 3 large red bell peppers while you roast the poblanos if you are using the Roasted Red Pepper sauce I recommend.) Broil or grill the peppers, rotating until the outer skin is charred all around, but the peppers are still slightly undercooked.
- Place charred peppers in a brown paper bag, closing the end to retain the steam, and allow to cool fro at least 5 minutes to a temperature that you can handle comfortably. Peel away and discard the skin that has charred on the outer surface.
- Using a sharp knife and being careful not to cut all the way through the stem and bottom ends of the pepper, make a vertical slit along one side. Carefully remove the seed strings and core through this slit.
- Chop the garlic, jalapeno, red bell pepper, and shallot; let them stand undisturbed on the cutting board or in a medium sized mixing bowl for about 5 minutes.
- Mince the cilantro and basil and add to the mixing bowl. Shred the mozzarella cheese, adding it and the Boursin to the mixing bowl. Stir well. Add rice, chopped spicy shrimp, shredded cheese, and herbs. Stir to mix well.
- Spray or rub a shallow baking dish with olive oil. Place a prepared pepper on the cutting board with cut side up; spoon stuffing inside, roll to close opening, and place in the baking dish. Continue until all the poblanos are stuffed. If there is extra stuffing it may be mixed with black beans and fresh tomatoes for a lunch salad.
- Bake in a preheated 350 F for 15-20 minutes.
- To serve as main dish: Place 2 peppers on each plate; drizzle with roasted red pepper sauce.
- To serve as appetizers: Arrange all the peppers on a serving dish. Either drizzle red pepper sauce over them on the serving plate, or provide a small dish of red pepper sauce and small ladle for self service.

Steps:
- 1. Wash and dry the chile pepper, leaving the stems on. Wearing disposable gloves to keep the hot oil off your skin, cut a slit down one side of each pepper. Use a slim, blunt knife or a tool such as the handle of a teaspoon to carefully scrape out all the seeds. Work carefully so you don't break the pepper or dislodge its stem. 2. In a 10-inch sauté pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and green onion and cook until fragrant, but not browned. Add the chopped shrimp, season with salt, and cook, stirring often, until the shrimp are pink and firm. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes. 3. Stir in the shredded cheese. The mixture should hold its shape. If it is too crumbly, turn it out on a cutting board and chop until it sticks together. 4. Use a small teaspoon to gently fill each pepper with about 1½ tablespoons of the shrimp mixture. The filling should be generous. At this point, if you wish, you can refrigerate the stuffed peppers, covered, for up to 24 hours. 5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat an ovenproof cast-iron griddle or pan over medium-high heat. Lay a sheet of foil on the griddle and set the peppers on top. Roast the peppers on all sides until they are browned in places and are starting to get soft and wrinkled. 6. Transfer the griddle or pan to the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until the filling is hot and bubbly. 7. Arrange the stuffed peppers on a warm serving plate and top each with a spoonful of mango salsa. Scatter with the pomegranate seeds or pepitas, if using, and serve right away with cilantro sprigs. For the Mango Habanero Salsa: Combine all the ingredients. Taste for seasoning; the salsa should be full-flavored, both sweet and very hot. You may need to add more lime juice or salt. This salsa should be used within 2 hours.

SHRIMP STUFFED BELL PEPPERS
Have no idea where I got this recipe some 40 or so years ago! It was a favorite with my family. I like to use couscous but it also works well with cooked rice. The measurements, as listed, should stuff 4 "average-size" home-grown peppers. If using particularly large or small ones, adjustments may need to be made. Shrimp all those years ago were cheap. But even still, sometimes the budget was tight. Those were the times there was more couscous and less shrimp in the stuffing!! Still good, though.

ROASTED SHRIMP STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS
How to make Roasted Shrimp Stuffed Poblano Peppers
Provided by @MakeItYours
Number Of Ingredients 20
Steps:
- Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet lined with foil paper. Place under the broiler and char the skins, turning often to evenly blacken. About 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer the peppers to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to cool completely. Once cooled, transfer the peppers to a cutting board. Remove the stems and seeds. Using the blade of your knife scrape off the charred skin. In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted peppers, canned tomatoes, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and cumin. Purée until completely smooth. Set aside and reserve for later.
- Char the poblano peppers directly over an open flame on your stove. (If you have an electric stove with no flame, then you can place the peppers under the broiler and roast them like the red peppers. Just keep an eye on them, turning the poblanos often). Once the poblanos are charred all around, transfer to a plate or dish and allow to cool completely, uncovered. Once cool, carefully remove the skin by scraping the outside with the blade of your knife. Remove the seeds from the poblano peppers (keeping the stems in tact) by making a slit down the middle and scooping out the seeds. Set peppers aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle in the olive oil. Add the chopped onions, garlic and jalapeño. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the veggies are soft. Season with salt, pepper and ground coriander. Add the shrimp and stir. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and are no longer opaque. Be careful not to over cook them. Turn off the flame and remove the pan from the stove. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl combine the softened cream cheese, monterey jack cheese, and shrimp mixture. Stir until smooth and well combined. Stuff the peppers with the cheese-shrimp mixture, dividing the filling evenly between the six poblanos. Spoon the sauce onto the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish or 6 individual serving dishes. Place the stuffed peppers on top of the sauce. Bake for 4o minutes on a baking sheet lined with foil to catch any drips. The cheese should be bubbly and the tops golden brown. Remove from oven and top with crumbled queso fresco and cilantro. Serve right away. Enjoy!
SHRIMP & SCALLOP STUFFED BELL PEPPERS
Steps:
- Preparing the Peppers Chop off stems, cut in half, lengthwise, remove seeds and veins. Parboil for 5-6 minutes. If you are preparing these in advance, then drop in cool water after boiling to avoid mushy peppers which will result from a longer cooking time. Set aside. Preparing the Shellfish In a bowl, briefly marinate shrimp, scallops in white wine and cajun spice. If you've chosen larger scallops and shrimp, they should first be rough-chopped into 1/2 inch chunks. Pre-cook the Stuffing Place olive oil in a large fry-pan over medium-low heat. Add onions and celery. Allow to cook for about 10 minutes. Turn up heat to medium. Add shrimp and scallops. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in cheese and breadcrumbs, saving about 2 tablespoons of each to sprinkle over the tops of the peppers once they've been stuffed. Stuffing & Baking If cooking immediately, preheat oven to 450. Arrange pepper halves in a large glass pyrex dish. Stuff each half with fish mixture. Combine left-over breadcrumbs and cheese with parsley, and sprinkle over the tops of the peppers. Cook for 10 minutes at 450 to brown the tops. If you've prepared the peppers ahead of time and chilled them, cook at 350 for 45 minutes or until heated through.
