From 2008 - 2022, I set out to discover one recipe from each country in the world. Needless to say, internet resources increased dramatically during that time frame, and if I had time, I would love to go back and re-discover more recipes from each country. Maybe one day! Note: One recipe per country is inadequate to judge a country's cuisine properly. I also claim no credit or blame for the results of these recipes.

Crevettes aux Poivrons (Prawns with Bell Peppers)
-800g raw prawns, peeled, rinsed and drained
-15g freshly-grated ginger
-1 onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
-2 garlic cloves, peeled
-1 tsp cooking oil
-1 each red, yellow, and green bell pepper, de-seeded and sliced into thin strips
-salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste
1) Combine the ginger, onion and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until pureed.
2) Add the oil to a non-stick pan. When hot, fry prawns over high heat for about 1 minute, or until just pink through. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to keep warm.
3) Add the onion mixture to the pan. Season to taste with salt and black pepper and fry, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Now add the bell pepper strips and cook for 2 minutes.
4) Return the prawns to the pan, stir to mix and cook for 4 minutes, or until heated through. Traditionally these are served with deep-fried sweet potato chips.
