? 2 green peppers.

Cut peppers in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and membranes. Parboil the peppers for four minutes. Drain. Stuff.

Stuffing for four pepper halves:

? 1/2-pound salad shrimp

? 1 egg yolk, slightly beaten

? 1/4-cup ranch dressing

? 1 cup cooked small pasta – such as ziti

? 1/4 cup sliced green onion including green part

? 1/4 cup grated cheese of your choice

Mix all except cheese.

Stuff peppers. Top with cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes

There are many choices for stuffings, such as a ham or chicken combos, mixtures of hamburger, cottage cheese, cream cheese or seafood. Let your imagination run wild.

This recipe serves eight light eaters, or four for heartier appetites.
