    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 large red bell peppers, cut into thin strips
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
12 ounces uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, deveined
1 1/2 cups frozen peas, unthawed
8 ounces gemelli or fusilli pasta (about 2 1/2 cups)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onions; sauté until onions are deep golden, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, and orange peel; stir 1 minute. Add shrimp and peas; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté until shrimp are just opaque in center and peas are heated through, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Ladle out 1/2 cup pasta cooking water and reserve. Drain pasta; return to pot.

    Step 3

    Add shrimp mixture and reserved cooking water to pasta; toss to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer pasta to bowl and serve.
