- 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
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!
