Decadently Creamy Shrimp And Scallop Scampi With Orzo Food

SHRIMP AND SCALLOP SCAMPI RECIPE

Steps:

• Boil the pasta according to package directions, reserving ½ cup of the pasta water before draining. Drain and reserve pasta.
• Peel the shrimp and reserve shell or tails, and de-vein, if necessary.
• While the pasta is boiling, heat a thin layer of oil in a deep skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high heat. Pat the scallops completely dry.
• Once the oil is hot, add the dry scallops and sear them on each side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes per side, then remove scallops and set aside.
• Turn the heat down to medium-low and melt the butter with the remaining olive oil, then add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add white wine, pasta water, shrimp shells, salt, and red pepper flakes, bring to a simmer, and cook until reduced by half. Shrimp shells will turn pink and wine will reduce, leaving about half of the liquid, or ¾ cup.
• Remove the shrimp tails and add the shrimp, and cook the shrimp until just barely pink, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Add scallops back into the skillet and stir to combine.
• Add lemon juice and parsley and stir to combine, then remove from the heat.
• Add pasta into skillet and toss to combine with sauce.
• If desired, serve with extra chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper. Add the scallops to the skillet, raise the heat to high and sear until golden brown and just firm, 1 to 2 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat, add the butter and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked pasta and parsley to the skillet and toss to combine. Add a little of the reserved pasta cooking water to help thin out the sauce so it evenly coats the pasta. Divide the pasta evenly into bowls and top each with some scallops.

ONE-POT SHRIMP SCAMPI ORZO

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and dried parsley in a small bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Melt butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Stir in orzo and onion, toss to coat, and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent and orzo is lightly toasted, 4 to 5 minutes. Mix in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Deglaze pot with white wine and stir until wine has cooked off. Pour in chicken broth and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until orzo is tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Add peas and shrimp with marinade to the pot, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are light pink, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Divide between 2 dishes, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and garnish with lemon slices.

LEMON ORZO WITH SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain. Transfer the orzo to a large bowl and add 2 tablespoons butter, the lemon zest, half of the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking water. Season with salt and pepper; toss, adding more pasta cooking water as needed to loosen. Cover to keep warm.
• Pat the scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until just cooked through, 1 to 2 more minutes. Transfer to a plate; cover to keep warm.
• Add the garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until golden, about 10 seconds. Add the wine, 1/4 cup water and the remaining lemon juice. Cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the capers and the remaining 3 tablespoons butter; swirl to melt. Stir in the parsley.
• Add the arugula and tomatoes to the orzo; toss. Serve with the scallops and pan sauce.

SHRIMP SCAMPI WITH ORZO

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together shrimp, 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon zest, red-pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and half the garlic. Set aside to marinate. (This step can be done up to 1 hour in advance.)
• Add butter, remaining olive oil and remaining garlic to a medium skillet set over medium heat. When the butter starts to bubble, add the orzo and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until the orzo is toasted, about 2 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent the garlic from burning. Carefully add the wine - it will bubble - and stir until absorbed, about 1 minute. Stir in water, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until orzo is al dente, about 12 minutes.
• Add the shrimp in a snug, even layer on top of the orzo, cover, and cook until all the shrimp is pink and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle with parsley and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
