After deveining and rinsing, thoroughly pat shrimp dry with paper towels. If they're wet when added to the wok, the stir-fry will turn into a braise.
Ingredients
Jerk sauce
2 tbsp(s)
Orange juice
½ fl oz
Uncooked scallions
3 medium
Peanut oil
4 tsp(s)
Minced garlic
1 tbsp(s)
Uncooked shrimp
1 pound(s), large, peeled, deveined, patted dry
Table salt
½ tsp(s)
Orange bell pepper
3 cup(s), sliced, strips (1/4-inch wide)
Instructions
1
Combine jerk sauce and orange juice in small bowl; set aside. Thinly slice scallions, separating green sections from white sections.
2
Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok (or 12-inch skillet) over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact; swirl in oil. Add white parts of scallion and garlic; stir-fry 10 seconds or until fragrant. Push scallion mixture to sides of wok and carefully add shrimp; spreading them evenly in one layer. Cook undisturbed, 1 minute, until shrimp begin to sear; using a metal spatula, stir-fry 30 seconds, incorporating scallion mixture, until shrimp are orange but not cooked through.
3
Add peppers and sprinkle with salt; stir-fry 15 seconds or until just combined. Swirl in jerk sauce mixture; stir-fry 1-2 minutes or until shrimp are just cooked and vegetables are tender-crisp. Sprinkle on scallion greens; serve.
