One Pot Lemon Orzo Shrimp Recipes

ONE POT GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP AND ORZO

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with the olive oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, red pepper flakes and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet (I like a 12 inch) over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the orzo. Cook, stirring often, until the orzo is slightly golden and toasty. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
• Pour in the chicken stock and bring it to a boil. Reduce it to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook until the orzo absorbs the water and is fluffed up, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Add in the shrimp to the orzo and stir. Cover the pot again and cook for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink, opaque and cooked through.
• Sprinkle with fresh parsley and a spritz of lemon. I like to stir in another 1 to 2 tablespoons of melted butter for optimal flavor, but this is up to you. Serve immediately!

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.
