Notes: If I'm cooking and only using half a bell pepper, I will pull the seeds and ribs out and put the rest in the freezer in a bag. I'll just pull it out and use it straight from the freezer in heated recipes and I do not notice a difference in quality. (Thanks Mama and Granny for that tip!) Feel free to change the proportions of the meats, or to leave certain meats out altogether (I don't always do this with shrimp and have done this before with all chicken). Enjoy!
