    This recipe is my #1 favorite way to eat shrimp. All of the ingredients pair perfectly together, and the sauce is so rich and flavorful. This Shrimp with Roasted Pepper Sauce could be enjoyed with pasta, over rice, or just as is. Dip a slice of fresh and crunchy bread in the sauce and reach nirvana! 🙂 

    Did I mention that it is easy to make, too?

    WHAT KIND OF SHRIMP TO USE

    Raw, medium-sized, tail on, deveined shrimp would be the best fit for this recipe. I like to have the tails on because during cooking the shells add extra flavor to the dish. If you prefer, you can use fully peeled shrimp instead.

    ROASTED PEPPERS

    You'll need roasted peppers to make the sauce. You can use store bought or homemade roasted peppers. Most of the time, I just buy them from the store. You can find roasted peppers in many large supermarkets. They are usually found in the section where jarred olives, capers, mushrooms, etc. are sold. I prefer 12-16 oz. jars so that there are no leftovers. Of course, you can buy roasted peppers from Amazon. I like these Cento Red and Yellow Fire Roasted Peppers.

    INSTRUCTIONS: 

    1. Place the roasted peppers with the liquid from the jar in a blender or smoothie cup and process until smooth.

    2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 5 minutes.

    4. To the same skillet, add the roasted pepper puree. Turn the heat to medium and cook it for about 7-10 minutes, until most of the liquid evaporates.

    5. Add the Half & Half and Parmesan. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer.

    6. Return the shrimp to the skillet. Mix everything well and cook for 1-2 minutes, just to heat the shrimp back up. Garnish with chopped parsley and Parmesan.

    WHAT TO SERVE SHRIMP IN ROASTED PEPPER SAUCE WITH

    One of my favorite ways to serve this dish is to add pasta and mix it all together. It also tastes great with rice, steamed veggies, couscous, polenta, or mashed potatoes.

      This recipe is so very good! I did not have half and half so I used whole milk and added a Tbs. of cornstarch (before I heated it) to make more like the consistency of half and half. I happen to have fresh red peppers so I roasted in the oven and blended for an even fresher taste. I served over roasted spaghetti squash to keep the healthy theme going. It was delicious, but I will try with the half and half next time. I could eat this every week!

      OMG!!!
      The only thing that I added was a bit of Italian seasoning. 🤤
      This will be on regular rotation. I wish that I could post a picture of how quickly my family gobbled it up. So much for planning leftovers… 🫤

      Can I skip the cream? We can’t have dairy

        Hi Ramona! I would suggest using dairy-free replacement such as unsweetened oat cream, or coconut milk. Let me know if you give it a try!
