Preparation

Step 1
Peel and devein shrimp. Singe peppers over a gas flame or under a broiler until blackened all over. Allow to cool and rub off charred skin. (Don't be afraid to leave a bit of the charring behind; the flavor is essential to the dish.) Stem and seed the charred peppers and cut them into shrimp-sized pieces.
Step 2
Heat clarified butter in a large skillet until very hot. Add shrimp and saute briefly until they turn white and pink. Remove and reserve.
Step 3
Add shallots to skillet and saute 1 minute without browning. Add tomato puree and bring to the boil. Add butter, salt and pepper to taste and stir until butter is melted. Add peppers and bring to the boil again.
Step 4
Return shrimp to skillet to heat through and finish cooking (about 1 minute). Pour mixture into serving dish. Serve over pasta or rice.
