Preparation

  1. Shell and devein the shrimp.
  2. Cut the red pepper into 1/2-inch cubes.
  3. Slice the green pepper into 1 1/2-inch-long strips.
  4. Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet. Add the shrimp, salt, pepper and paprika. Stir with a wooden spatula. When the shrimp become pink (they should take 2 to 3 minutes), remove them with a slotted spoon, leaving the cooking liquid in the pan.
  5. In the same skillet, add the red and green peppers, shallots, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, about 3 to 4 minutes over medium-high heat. Add the Cognac, shrimp and any juices that have accumulated. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes more.
  6. Add the sour cream and the yogurt. Blend well and check for seasoning. Add the chopped coriander, and bring to a simmer for about 30 seconds. Do not boil, or the sauce will separate. Serve immediately.
