1 1/2 pounds cleaned extra-large shrimp
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, more for seasoning the shrimp
2 bunches red or rainbow chard, rinsed (about 1 pound)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 hot chile like Thai or Hungarian wax, seeded if desired and thinly sliced
1 long mild or sweet chile like Italian frying, thinly sliced
1 shallot, chopped
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, to taste
1/2 cup cilantro leaves

1
Season shrimp generously with salt.

Wash and trim chard, thinly slicing the stems.

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil, then add shrimp and sear until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side.

Transfer shrimp to a plate.
5
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet, let heat for a few seconds, then add garlic, chile peppers, shallot and ginger and saute until slightly browned, about 3 minutes.

7
Stir in chard stems and saute until they start to soften, about 2 minutes.
8
Add the greens to the skillet along with 2 tablespoons water and immediately cover the pan.
9
Keep it covered for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the greens to wilt.

Once the greens have cooked down, remove the lid and continue cooking for a few more minutes to allow the water to evaporate.
