I cannot wait to try this out in the summer! The prep time says 8 hours - 2 days. I'm not sure to go long or short, the first time out. It's seems like a nice spicy summer dish that could be presented ANY way one could think of e.g. on skewers, with a meat dish. I think it's a Cooking Light recipe, it sure reads like one.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 lbs jumbo shrimp, peeled and de-veined
3/4 cup red bell pepper, vertically sliced

3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 bay leaves
