CONFETTI SHRIMP

Category: Seafood

1 1/2 lbs. raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (I try to use the biggest ones I can find)
1 to 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 T. minced ginger
1 1/2 T. fresh lemon juice
1 T. fresh lime juice
1/4 c. chopped chives or scallions, plus additional for garnish
1 roasted red bell pepper, chopped

Lemon and lime wedges for garnish

Place a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Saute the shrimp for two minutes, or until cooked through. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and set aside in a glass bowl.

Add a little bit more oil to the pan and saute the garlic and ginger until golden. Remove from heat. Add in the citrus juices; stir to combine. Pour this mixture over the shrimp, season with salt, and toss to coat. Chill for two to three hours, stirring occasionally. Add bell pepper and chives, toss to combine. Pour onto a pretty platter, garnish with additional chives and citrus wedges.

Serve with cocktail picks, and don't forget to put out a little bowl for the tails
