  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tbs chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  4. Add shrimp along with parsley and dill weed; cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, around three minutes. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat; whisk in flour to create a roux for about three minutes.
  6. Gradually whisk in chicken stock followed by half-and-half until the sauce thickens.
  7. Stir in fire-roasted tomatoes, lemon juice, grated cheese, salt, and pepper.
  8. Fold in cooked ziti and shrimp until well combined; top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
