Instructions
Step 1
In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat until melted. Add in garlic and shallot and cook until soft and translucent.
Step 2
Add in tomato paste and cook until browned about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add in Calabrian chilis and orzo. Stir to coat the orzo in the tomato paste.
Step 4
Deglaze with white wine. Cook, stirring, until most of the wine is cooked off.
Step 5
Add in about 1/3 of the chicken stock and cook over medium-low heat, stirring until most of the liquid is absorbed.
Step 6
Repeat this process until the orzo is al dente and the mixture is creamy and still quite saucy. You want to maintain a simmer (not a boil) through this process so that the pasta cooks gently and all the liquid doesn’t cook off without the pasta being able to absorb it. This should take about 17-20 minutes
Step 7
Turn heat to low. Stir in cream and crab (save just a little for the top to garnish). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 8
Serve topped with reserved crab, more olive oil, lemon zest, chives, and black pepper.
