Crevettes aux poivrons

This simple stir-fry from Togo combines shrimps and diced or sliced peppers - traditionally red, green, and yellow bell peppers. Other common additions include ginger, garlic, and onions that can be diced and fried, or optionally puréed into a paste which goes under the name n’toutou. The ingredients are shortly stir-fried until the shrimps are thoroughly cooked. The dish can be enjoyed as an appetizer or a light main course, usually accompanied by cooked or fried sweet potatoes.
