Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8–10 sweet mini peppers, chopped
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños, minced
• 2 tablespoons capers
• 1/4 cup golden raisins
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons red wine
• 1 cup water (see notes)
• 1 pound uncooked shrimp (see notes)
• rice for serving
• lemon or lime (optional)

Instructions

1. PEPPERS: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute peppers for 5-10 minutes until they’re nice and soft.
2. TOMATOES AND STUFF: Turn the heat down to medium (to avoid burning the garlic). Add the tomatoes, garlic, jalapeños, capers, raisins, oregano, and salt. Saute for 5-10 minutes until it’s all fragrant and yummy and the tomatoes have released some of their juices.
3. SAUCE HAPPENING: Add the wine – sizzzzzzle. Add the water, a little at a time, and simmer for another 5-ish minutes until it’s moderately saucy.
4. SHRIMP: Place the shrimp on top of the sauce. Sprinkle with more salt / pepper. Cook on one side for 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes.
5. DONE! Serve the saucy, briny, moderately spicy goods over hot steaming rice. Squeeze a lemon or lime over the top to be totally extra.
