How to Make Garlicky Peppers And Shrimp

  1. Prepare the pasta: Cook your pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  2. Grill the peppers: Grill or roast 1 large red bell pepper and 1 large yellow bell pepper until slightly charred. Peel and slice into strips.
  3. Sauté aromatics: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add peppers and shrimp: Add the sliced peppers to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add 1 pound of jumbo shrimp and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Cook until shrimp turn pink and opaque (about 2-3 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  5. Combine and serve: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the shrimp and peppers. Toss gently to combine. Add a splash of pasta water if needed to create a light sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
  6. Garnish (optional): Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
