Prepare the Ingredients

Step 78

Stem, seed, remove ribs, and cut green bell pepper into ¼" dice.

Step 79

Peel and cut shallot into ¼" dice.

Step 80

Trim and slice white portions of green onions into ½" pieces. Thinly slice remaining green onions, keeping white and green portions separate.

Step 81

Pat shrimp dry.

Step 82

If using flank steak, separate into a single layer and pat dry. If using chicken thighs, pat dry and season all over with a pinch of salt. (Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.) Season either all over with a pinch of salt.

Step 92

Cook the Shrimp
