Stuffed Peppers with Ground Turkey and Shrimp!

I have been craving stuffed peppers for the LONGEST! But I knew I wanted to add a twist to mine. Most traditional stuffed peppers call for ground beef and ground pork. However, I'm not a huge beef nor pork eater. So after some brainstorming, I took a chance on a recipe I concocted while in the grocery store. AND GOOD GAWD was it AMAZING?!

Ingredients:

• turkey sausage
• cherry tomatoes
• green onion
• yellow onion
• white mushrooms
• heavy whipping cream
• multi color bell peppers
• 1/2lb raw shrimp, deveined
• jasmine rice
• shredded parmesan cheese
• garlic cloves
• evoo
• salt
• pepper
• cayenne pepper

In a large pot, boil 6qts of water. While the water is beginning to boil, remove the tops from your peppers, slice in half and remove seeds. Rinse your peppers to remove any excess seeds and dirt. By the time you finish, your water should be boiling. Depending on the size of your pot, add 5-6 halves at a time. Allow them to boil for 4min. Remove with a slotted spoon and allow them to dry on a paper towel facing down.

Next, it's time to prepare to cook your jasmine rice. In a saucepan, combine 2cups of water and 1tbsp on evoo. Once it's reached its boiling point, add 3/4cup of rice. Reduce your heat from high to low and cover with lid, occasionally stirring. Be sure to check on your rice! We don't want you to burn anything. 

Next it's time chop your veggies. Hopefully you have a chopper. It really makes this much easier. In your chopper, add 1/2cup tomatoes, 6 mushrooms, and 2 garlic cloves. Chop for about 5-7sec and sat aside. Seperately chop 1/4 cup of yellow onion. Then remove the tails and legs from your shrimp and rinse. Once they're done,  cut in half and add them in a mixing bowl with your tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, 1/4cup of green onion, yellow onion and 3tbsp of evoo. Mix evenly. Then take two sausage links, remove the casing and add to your mixture as well. Heat your skillet and spray with a non-stick spray such as PAM. Once hot, add in everything from your mixing bowl. Cook thoroughly until both meats are done. When done, reduce your skillet to low and add 1cup of heavy whipping cream. Continue to cook until it begins to become less soupy, but not thick. By this point, your rice should be done as well. Remove both from heat and add all ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir evenly.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a baking dish, place your peppers face up and add about 1/8in of water. This prevents the shells from burning in the oven.

Begin to stuff your peppers and I mean STUFF them!

Bake for 15min, uncovered. Then top with shredded Parmesan and bake until cheese is thoroughly melted. Once done, remove from oven and allow to sit for 10min. 

Remove from dish and dive in! Hope you enjoy!
