Cajun Shrimp and Pepper Stir-Fry

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine clam juice and cornstarch.
2. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12 inch skillet over high heat until a bead of water dropped on the surface vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of peanut oil, add garlic and stir-fry 10 seconds or until fragrant. Push garlic mixture to sides of wok, carefully add shrimp, and spread evenly in one layer in wok. Cook undisturbed 1 minute, letting shrimp begin to sear. Sprinkle in paprika, salt and cayenne. Then, using a metal spatula, stir-fry 30 seconds, incorporating garlic mixture, until shrimp is lightly browned but not cooked through.
3. Swirl in remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add peppers and stir-fry 30 seconds or until just combined. Swirl in clam mixture and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes or until shrimp is just cooked and vegetables are tender-crisp. Stir in sour cream and sprinkle on parsley. Yields 1 cup per serving.
