ONE POT SHRIMP SCAMPI PASTA DINNER

Steps:

• Season shrimp with ½ teaspoon of the salt and ¼ teaspoon of the pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat in a pot large enough to cook the pasta. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally until opaque and pink, 3-4 minutes. Transfer it to a plate.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to the pot. Add the onion. Cook until softened, stirring occasionally.
• Remove the pot from the heat and add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest. Stir for a minute.
• Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of the salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, stock, white wine, and heavy cream.
• Return the pot to the stove. Bring to a simmer over high heat, stirring frequently. Once it reaches a simmer, immediately stir in the pasta.
• Reduce the temperature to keep it at a low simmer, stirring often, until the pasta is cooked, 13-15 minutes. If the pasta has soaked up a lot of the liquid and seems dry, add an extra ½ cup of stock.
• Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the cooked shrimp. Heat through. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and then add fresh lemon juice.
• Top with chopped parsley, if using.

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.

20-MINUTE INSTANT POT SHRIMP SCAMPI PASTA

Steps:

• Add the butter, olive oil and garlic to a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot® multi-cooker and set to high saute (see Cook's Note). Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is softened but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add the wine, lemon juice and zest, red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil and let simmer 1 minute. Add 2 cups water, then add half of the pasta all in one direction and then the other half of the pasta in a criss-cross fashion. Top with the shrimp and half of the scallions.
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 1 minute. After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 5 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
• Using tongs, toss the pasta to evenly coat with the sauce and break up any clumps. Top with the remaining scallions and serve with salad and garlic bread if using.
