🍤Lemon Pepper Shrimp Stuffed Peppers Recipe

Pin It

Do you need new quick dinner recipes? Have you tried a Land O’Lakes Sauté Express® Sauté Starter? I’ve got a quick recipe for Lemon Pepper Shrimp Stuffed Peppers for you to try. The reason I love using a Sauté Express® Sauté Starter is that it adds tremendous flavor to a dish without using a heavy sauce. It definitely helps speed up dinner preparations and it takes the intimidation out of preparing a gourmet-tasting meal.

It’s super easy to prepare green peppers for stuffing. You just cut the top off then remove the seeds. Because the seeds are tiny, I rinse my peppers to remove any stubborn seeds sticking in the folds of the pepper. Using a green bell pepper as your “cup” for the shrimp and rice is a fun way to serve it, adds more flavor to the rice, and as a bonus you can eat the pepper too! My kids opted out of eating the pepper, but they thought it was so much fun using the pepper as their “cup”.

The Lemon Pepper Land O’Lakes Sauté Express® Sauté Starter makes it so easy to saute the frozen shrimp, add frozen peas, and add cooked rice. I find that the less ingredients in a recipe, the more likely I’ll be successful in getting it from freezer or fridge to the table quickly.  All moms have busy schedules, so it really makes a difference to have quick dinner recipes up your sleeves.
