Name us a more iconic duo than “salt” and “pepper;” we'll wait. Can't, can you? On dinner tables across the globe, people shake those shakers to augment an already delightful experience or save dinner from blandness. Now, the peppers in here aren't just pepper pepper, but spicy jalapeño and fresh red bell pepper. But the shrimp remains the same, crisped to perfection and tossed with the vegetables, ginger, and garlic. Salt and pepper… an iconic duo for an iconic meal. Tip: Easiest way to remove jalapeño stems and seeds: remove ends, then hold upright. Carefully slice the pepper into four pieces, leaving stem and seed to discard.
