Description
These Bang Bang Shrimp Stuffed Peppers combine creamy, spicy shrimp with melty cheese and roasted bell peppers for an irresistible flavor-packed dish. Perfect as a party appetizer or a fun weeknight dinner!
Ingredients
4 large bell peppers (any color)
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sweet chili sauce
1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp green onions, chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
Vegetable oil or butter, for cooking
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add vegetable oil or butter. Sauté shrimp until pink and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Add cooked shrimp to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
Fill each bell pepper with the shrimp mixture. Top each one with shredded cheese.
Place stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes, removing foil during the last 10 minutes to melt and brown the cheese.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
For added crunch, sprinkle panko breadcrumbs on top before baking. To make it low-carb or keto, use a sugar-free chili sauce and omit breadcrumbs. These can also be made with mini sweet peppers for an appetizer version.
