#### **Instructions**
1. **Prepare the Ingredients**: Chop your vegetables and protein, ensuring everything is bite-sized for easy cooking. If you’re using rice or pasta, cook it according to package instructions and set aside.
2. **Sauté the Vegetables**: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until fragrant and softened. Add the bell pepper and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
3. **Cook the Protein**: Add the protein of your choice to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika (and cumin, if using). Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes for chicken or shrimp, or longer for beef or tofu.
4. **Create the Sauce**: Stir in the diced tomatoes and cream (or coconut milk). Let the sauce simmer for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
5. **Finish the Dish**: If you’re serving this dish with rice or pasta, toss it in the skillet to coat it with the flavorful sauce. If you’re serving it on its own, simply plate the protein and vegetables with sauce.
6. **Garnish and Serve**: Finish the dish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or zest and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Serve warm and enjoy!
