Orange marmalade combined with fresh ginger and garlic with shrimp as the base of the recipe is bound to be a pleaser. This is a great dish on its own, but add rice to complement it.

• Peel and de-vein shrimp. In a small bowl, combine orange marmalade, soy sauce, vinegar, Tabasco, and cornstarch. Stir well to dissolve cornstarch. Set aside.

• Place a large skillet or wok over high heat. Heat skillet for 1 minute and add olive oil. Heat oil for 30 seconds. Add ginger, garlic, and shrimp. Stir-fry shrimp until they begin to turn pink, about 3 minutes. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.

• Add the peppers and broccoli to skillet. Cook on high heat for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium. Add water and cover. Cook veggies until tender, about 5 minutes.

• Remove cover. Return heat to high. Add shrimp and marmalade mixture. Cook shrimp for another 2 minutes until sauce is thickened and shrimp are completely cooked.

• Stir in green onions. Serve with cooked rice if desired.

Shrimp Tips

When you're buying fresh shrimp, make sure the meat is firm. If you're buying frozen shrimp, purchase shrimp in a clear plastic bag so you can see any freezer burn. You can grill 'em, and they're great sautéed, roasted, stir-fried, baked, or in a shrimp cocktail. Shrimp are rich in vitamin B12, niacin, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, and copper.
