Ingredients:  
4 tbsp Butter
2 shallots chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh ginger root
1 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups milk (2% acceptable, but sauce will not be as thick)
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/2 lb stelline or orzo pasta
1 lb rock or small shrimp shelled (cut in half)
1/4 cup red bell pepper chopped
1/2 cup scallions including green tops
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
8 spears fresh chives
Directions:
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tbsp of the butter over moderately low heat. Add shallots, ginger and cook, stirring occasionally until soft - about 5 minutes.

Increase the heat to moderately high. Add the wine and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup. Add the milk and simmer until the mixture thickens somewhat, almost to coat the back of a spoon - about 10 minutes. Stir in the paprika, salt, and pepper. Strain the sauce and reserve.

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente and drain.

In a large skillet, melt the remaining 2 tbsp butter over high heat. Add shrimp, bell pepper, and scallions. Cook just until shrimp turn pink. Add the sauce and simmer until slightly thickened - about 3 minutes. Stir in the Orzo and parmesan cheese. Garnish with chives and serve immediately.
