Spicy Garlic Shrimp over Orzo image

I love to cook and get that from my Mom and Grandmother. So it's a great compliment that my Mom says this is her favorite dish I make. I surprise her a few times with this for dinner. Hope it becomes a favorite for you too!

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lb medium or large shrimp depending on how many shrimp per person ( i use large), peeled and deveined
1 Tbsp olive oil, per batch of shrimp
1 box orzo pasta, you may use other pasta you have on hand.
1 large red pepper, seeded and diced
1 medium red onion, diced
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp crushed hot red pepper per batch of shrimp, you can add more or less depending on your love of heat!
6 clove garlic, minced
1 stick butter
3 c favorite red sauce for spaghetti, heated
2 c shredded parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. This dish comes together pretty quick once you've done all your prep work. Start your pasta water. Cook pasta according to directions. While your water is boiling, saute your diced red peppers and onion in one tablespoon of olive oil until crisp tender and set aside in a bowl. In batches, saute your shrimp that have been seasoned with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes until done. Shrimp is done in batches to get a nice sear on them. Too crowded frying pan will steam them. Set aside batches and keep warm.
  • 2. In a sauce pan melt butter and add minced garlic. Heat over medium low temp for 10 minutes which will soften garlic and infuse butter with yummy garlicyness! Heat your red sauce in a seperate sauce pan.
  • 3. Mix all of your cooked shrimp, red pepper and onion mixture and garlic butter sauce in frying pan over medium heat and bring back to warm temp.
  • 4. Once pasta is done, shrimp mixed with veggies and butter it's time to plate! Place your perfect pasta portion on plate, top with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, a good scoop of shrimp mixture and a scoop of red sauce. Top with a bit more parmesan and Enjoy!

This shrimp dish was a hit with my family! The garlic and chili sauce was perfectly balanced, and the shrimp were cooked to perfection. I served it over orzo, and it was a great way to soak up all the delicious sauce.
