Shrimp Stuffed Peppers
Shrimp Stuffed Peppers
This recipe is from a cookbook titled Casserole Cook Book by Better Homes & Gardens, printed in 1961. I made these on 7 Aug 2021 and was pleasantly surprised, easy to put together and very nice flavor. I also updated the recipe with my findings as well.
Equipment
- Oven
- Baking Pan (7x11 inch)
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked shrimp, diced
- 6 small green bell peppers, or 3 medium
- 1 can seasoned tomato sauce, (15 oz / 435 g)
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup mayo
- 2 tablespoons onion, diced
- salt and pepper, as desired
Instructions
- For the shrimp, I used 2 bags of Walmart brand, frozen, cooked, large, peeled, deveined, tail on shrimp. I thawed them, removed the tails, and chopped them. This was just a bit over 3 cups, each bag was 12 oz / 340 g.
- Cut the tops off the peppers, remove seeds and membrane.
- Place the peppers in small amount of boiling salted water, cover, and steam for 5 minutes, drain. Sprinkle insides with salt.
- Preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F), get out a 7x11 inch baking pan.
- In a mixing bowl, add remaining ingredients except the tomato sauce. Mix together and season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Fill peppers and place upright in the baking pan. Spoon the tomato sauce around the peppers.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Place peppers on a serving plate, spoon sauce over them, serve and enjoy.
Notes
Fair cost depending on where you source the shrimp from.
Variant: 1. I am planning on making this first as listed, then I am going test out using various cooked seasoned rice in place of the cooked rice. List of seasoned rice is here for rice cooker recipes and here for stovetop recipes. I will report my finds here as well. 2. Use 1 cup diced shrimp and 1 cup of boneless skinless white fish, both cooked. 3. Use a combination of shrimp, fish, and crab meat.
