Shrimp and Shells with Pancetta and Peas
Yum-o! Family-Friendly
Rachael says, "Shrimp and pasta seashells? This one is as cute as it is tasty and simple. Peas and bacon or pancetta have been a favorite of mine since I was little. Adding protein and pasta turns an old, favorite side dish into a main course."
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- 1/4 pound pancetta, chopped or 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3-4 cloves garlic, chopped or grated
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails off
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 boxes frozen peas (10 ounces each), defrosted
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest and the juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 cup packed flat leaf parsley leaves (a couple of handfuls)
- 2 cups chicken stock, divided
- 1 pound medium size pasta shells
Preparation
Place a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Add the pasta shells and cook to al dente, with a bite left to them.
