Here's what you need:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red bell pepper, seeded & chopped
1 zucchini, chopped
1 pound large shrimp, shelled & deveined
1 jalapeno, chopped fine
1 large shallot, chopped fine
2 teaspoons ginger root, fresh, chopped fine

1/3 cups dry white wine |
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice, fresh
1/2 cup chicken broth

|
Here's how to make it:
Heat 1/4 of the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and zucchini. Cook until barely tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a container and reserve. Add 1/2 of oil to the skillet and increase the heat to high. When oil is hot, but not smoking, add the shrimp and jalapenos. Sauté until the shrimp are pink, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a container and reserve. Reduce heat on pan to medium and add the remaining oil. Add the shallots, ginger, and garlic. Saute until the mixture is soft but not brown, about 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock, wine, sherry, and lime juice. Boil until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer 2-3 minutes more. Dissolve the cornstarch in the water. Whisk into the simmering mixture and cook until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Add the scallions and cilantro. Mix in the reserved zucchini and shrimp. Remove from heat and cool. Place in containers and store in the refrigerator.
