Shrimp Cooked In Smoked Sausage And Roasted Red Bell Pepper Jam Sauce

• For the Red Bell Pepper Jam (makes 1 full cup)
• 4 meaty red bell peppers+ 1 red jalapeno pepper washed, halved, seeds and membranes removed
• 1 large garlic clove, peeled and diced
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup sherry vinegar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• For the Smoked Sausage and Red Bell Pepper Jam sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 ounces any good quality smoked sausage, roughly chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium shallot, diced
• 1 teaspoon toasted cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• A pinch cayenne pepper
• 1 cup clam juice or homemade fish stock from shrimp shells and tails
• 1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper jam
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 20 Wild Jumbo Shrimp, peeled and deveined, (if making your own fish stock), shells reserved
• 4 organic extra-large eggs for serving, fried or poached(optional)

1. Preheat your broiler. Place only the bell pepper halves (leave the jalapeno raw), cut-side down on a baking sheet; spray with cooking spray the skins of the peppers; transfer to the upper rack of the oven and broil until the skins are charred and peppers soften, about 25 to 30 minutes.
2. Cool slightly and then peel. Place the roasted peppers, jalapeno, garlic and brown sugar in the bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth.
3. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and heat over medium-high; add sherry vinegar, soy sauce and 1/4 cup water; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring often, until the liquid has evaporated and the peppers have a jam-like consistency, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool and refrigerate. Can be made 1 week in advance.
4. To a saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and sweat the sausage until the fat starts to render, about 2 minutes. Then add the garlic and shallots. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the cumin, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper and cook stirring for about 1-2 minutes more.
5. Deglaze with clam juice or homemade fish stock and add the red bell pepper jam. Allow to reduce by about 3/4. Finish with the butter and keep warm until ready to serve or cool and refrigerate. Can be made 1 day ahead.
6. When ready to serve, add the shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes per side. Fry or poach the eggs according to your preference. rnServe hot over Polenta or Grits and top with the fried egg. Garnish with some more of the Red Bell Pepper Jam.
