Turmeric-Dill Shrimp Stir-Fry

While dill might sound like a rather unexpected ingredient to throw into a stir-fry, its resilient nature makes it a prime candidate that stays perky and fresh despite the heat of the pan. Here, an entire bunch is folded into a quick stir-fry of wilted shallots, tender baby bell peppers, and shrimp tinted with the golden hue of turmeric. Keep your dill fronds in large pieces and resist the urge to finely chop them. The heat of the pan will wilt and tenderize them, so don’t fret if there are some rather unruly fronds in the mix. It is hard to overdo dill and even the bigger pieces will lend a balancing freshness to the intense aromatic seasonings on the shrimp. A final flourish of both lemon zest and juice, along with the herby star of the show, is thrown into the pan right at the end, transforming an otherwise simple dish into something unexpectedly bright and fresh. You can serve it over noodles, rice, or piled high onto a crusty piece of bread.
