SHRIMP SCAMPI PIZZA RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a saucepan; add wine and lemon juice. When olive oil starts to boil, place shrimp in the pan and cook on medium heat until shrimp curls. Remove shrimp but leave wine mixture in the pan.
• In the same saucepan, add onion, minced garlic, and garlic salt. Saute until the onions are transparent.
• Mix flour with 1 tablespoon of water to make a paste.
• Add flour paste to the saucepan. Stir and cook until sauce is thick.
• Pour cream in the sauce, stir, then add the cheeses 1 at a time, whisking constantly after each addition. The sauce should be a medium-thick consistency and smooth.
• Place Italian bread on a serving tray in an X.
• Arrange shrimp in the middle of the bread.
• Spoon sauce in the middle of the bread, covering the shrimp.
• Sprinkle with sliced green onions, olives, tomatoes, and red pepper on top. Sprinkle more Parmesan cheese on top if desired. Enjoy!

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.
