One Pot White Wine Arugula Shrimp Pasta

One Pot White Wine Arugula Shrimp Pasta has all of my favorite things in one quick, weeknight meal. You get the best of both worlds, fresh veggies paired with wine and creamy goat cheese. It’s got a little bit of everything for everyone.

Serves 4-5

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb extra large shrimp, peeled and deveined*
1 shallot, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
10 oz grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup orzo
1 cup white wine
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 1/4 cup chicken stock
2 cups arugula
4 oz goat cheese
1 lemon, zested

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F/204°C. Heat olive oil in an oven safe skillet over medium high. Cook shrimp 2 minutes per side and remove from pan.

2. Sauté shallot and garlic for 1-2 minutes. Add in tomatoes, sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add orzo, cooking until golden brown in color, 1-2 minutes.

3. Add wine, to deglaze pan. Add lemon juice and chicken stock to pan, bring to a boil.

4. Once boiling immediately place in oven and bake 15 minutes.

5. Top with shrimp, arugula, goat cheese, and lemon zest.

Pro Tip: There are many sizes of shrimp so don’t be alarmed if you can’t find extra large in your grocery. You will just need to adjust your cooking time slightly.
