Ingredients
- 1 red bell pepper
- 4 cloves garlic
- olive oil
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- ¼ cup chicken broth if needed
- 6 ounces prepared pasta – I used spaghetti noodles
- ½ pound Shrimp peeled and deveined
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lemon sliced
- Shredded Parmesan cheese to serve
- chopped parsley to serve
Instructions
- Set oven to broil.
- Slice the bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove the stem and innards. Set it onto a baking sheet skin sides up along with the unpeeled garlic. Splash the garlic with a bit of olive oil and a bit of salt.
- Set into the center of the oven and broil about 20 minutes, or until the skins char and blacken.
- Remove from heat and wrap the peppers in paper towels to allow the skins to loosen. Peel and set the peppers into a food processor.
- Squeeze garlic from their skins and add to the food processor.
- Add goat cheese and process to form your creamy roasted red pepper sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you’d like to thin the sauce, add a bit of chicken broth and process.
- For the shrimp, heat a small pan to medium-high heat. Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Sear the shrimp a couple minutes each side, until cooked through.
- Toss your prepared pasta with the roasted red pepper sauce. Top with seared shrimp, shredded Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Squeeze over a bit of lemon juice and serve!
