Shrimp Scampi with Orzo

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Stir together shrimp, 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon zest, red-pepper flakes, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and half of the garlic. Set aside to marinate. (Up to 1 hr before)

Step 2

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 ½ 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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Stir in the shrimp, cover, and cook until shrimp is pink, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, 2 minutes.

Step 5

Serve immediately. Season with with parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
