Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of dried apricots, chopped finely
  • 1/3 cup of orange liqueur, like the exquisite Grand Marnier®
  • 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter for a rich flavor
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil to enhance the dish
  • A vibrant red bell pepper, deseeded and cut into delicate 1/4-inch strips
  • 1/2 cup of green onions thinly sliced, some with their lovely green tops
  • A large clove of garlic, minced for a fragrant touch
  • 1 pound of jumbo shrimp, meticulously peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons of water to add moisture
  • 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice for a zesty kick
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce for a savory note
  • 2 teaspoons of cornstarch for a perfect consistency
  • A pinch of freshly ground black pepper to season the dish

Step 1

In a delightful twist, mingle apricots with a splash of orange liqueur in a petite bowl, allowing them to mingle and infuse for a minimum of 15 minutes, enhancing their flavors.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a generous skillet, melt a combination of butter and olive oil over a medium-high flame. Toss in the vibrant bell pepper and the fresh green onions, giving them a quick and lively sauté for about 2 minutes. Introduce the garlic next, savoring its aroma as it dances in the pan for another minute. Dial down the heat to a medium setting, and gently add the shrimp to the mix. Watch them transform into a beautiful pink hue over approximately 2 minutes. Then, blend in the apricot-orange liqueur concoction, letting the scents and tastes intermingle harmoniously for an additional 3 minutes.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whip up a silky elixir by combining water, zesty lemon juice, soy sauce, cornstarch, and a sprinkle of pepper. Pour this enchanting blend into the shimmering shrimp medley, stirring gracefully until it gently thickens and warms through, creating a symphony of flavors in just about a minute.
