Before starting, preheat your broiler to high.Wash and dry all produce. Roughly chop parsley. Drain, then roughly chop roasted red peppers. Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces. Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges. Drain and rinse shrimp, using a strainer, then pat dry with paper towels.
Heat a medium pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions. Cook, stirring often, until softened, 2-3 min. Add rice. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Add 1 1/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl), peas and broth concentrate. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
While rice cooks, add shrimp, lemon zest, half the garlic puree, 1/2 tbsp Italian Seasoning and 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Broil in the middle of the oven until shrimp just turn pink, 5-6 min.**
