One Pot Lemon Shrimp Orzo Recipes

ONE POT LEMON ORZO WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°.
• In a large, deep, oven-proof skillet or a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the garlic and onion, and cook until just tender and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• Add in the diced tomatoes, broth, oregano, basil, and orzo. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the orzo is cooked through and most of the liquid is absorbed-about 15 minutes. Make sure to stir frequently to keep from sticking.
• Once the orzo is cooked, remove from heat and stir in the feta, lemon zest and lemon juice. Place the shrimp on top. Place the pot into the preheated oven and cook until the shrimp are opaque cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley, and serve.

ONE POT LEMON SHRIMP ORZO

Steps:

• Warm 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and sprinkle evenly with oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side, until pink and opaque, then remove to a plate and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium and melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and cook about 1 minute more, just until fragrant. Stir in the dried orzo and cook about 1 minute, to lightly toast.
• Pour in the broth. Increase heat to high until liquid boils, then return to medium so that the mixture is simmering gently. Cook for 10-12 minutes, until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally and reduce heat further if needed to prevent sticking.
• When orzo is tender, stir in the tomatoes and peas. Taste and season with more salt and pepper, as needed.
• Return shrimp to the pan, sprinkle lemon juice on top, garnish with fresh oregano and/or parsley leaves, and serve.

SHRIMP SCAMPI WITH ORZO

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together shrimp, 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon zest, red-pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and half the garlic. Set aside to marinate. (This step can be done up to 1 hour in advance.)
• Add butter, remaining olive oil and remaining garlic to a medium skillet set over medium heat. When the butter starts to bubble, add the orzo and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until the orzo is toasted, about 2 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent the garlic from burning. Carefully add the wine - it will bubble - and stir until absorbed, about 1 minute. Stir in water, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until orzo is al dente, about 12 minutes.
• Add the shrimp in a snug, even layer on top of the orzo, cover, and cook until all the shrimp is pink and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle with parsley and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
