Serves: 6

36 medium shrimp (about 1 pound)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups red bell pepper strips
1 cup green bell pepper strips
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped scallion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped - or - 2 teaspoons dried basil
Optional: Lemon slices and parsley sprigs, for garnish

Shell and de-vein the shrimp, leaving the tails attached.

In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the red and green bell peppers, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, the scallion, and garlic, and saute until the vegetables are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the shrimp, lemon juice, vinegar, and basil, and stir-fry until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley.

Divide the shrimp and bell peppers evenly among six dinner plates. Garnish with lemon slices and parsley sprigs, if desired.
