This shrimp and pasta combination is one of my husband's favorites. It's healthy, and he doesn't even know it. It's also easy to halve the recipe for two. —Mary Kay LaBrie, Clermont, Florida

Ingredients

  • 1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • Dash crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 bottle (8 ounces) clam juice
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
