Spicy Three Pepper Shrimp
"This is an easy weeknight recipe for 2 or 3 that has loads of flavor. As written, it's pretty spicy for the grown-ups, but can be toned down to suit your spice tolerance. I serve it over saffron rice."

As the recipe description states, this was a very easy weeknight meal and we enjoyed it very much. DH and I like a dish with heat, so we did not tone down the recipe and it had the right amount of spice for us. We served over saffron rice as suggested, which provided a nice colorful contrast to the shrimp and peppers. Thanks! Made for ZWT9
