One Pan Shrimp Orzo

This one pot meal is a comforting mix of juicy shrimp with orzo in a creamy sauce along with spinach and sun dried tomatoes. Another 30 minute beauty!

Ingredients:

1 lb shrimp, 36/56 count

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp oregano

1/4 tsp basil

salt and pepper to taste

1 1/2 tbsps minced garlic

2 tbsps olive oil

Orzo:

1 tbsp olive oil

1/3 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes

1 cup uncooked orzo

2 cups chicken broth

4 oz spinach (or spring mixed greens)

1 cup cream (heavy or 10% with 1 tsp cornstarch)

salt and pepper to taste

Season the shrimp with smoked paprika, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsps olive oil to medium high in a large skillet. Add shrimp and garlic and cook 2 minutes. (May need to work in batches so as not to steam the shrimp). Remove from pan and set aside. In the same pan add 1 tbsp olive oil, sun dried tomatoes and orzo. Toast on medium high heat for 2 minutes then add the broth. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer 5-10 minutes or until orzo is cooked. Add spinach and cream and return the shrimp to the pan. Simmer 2 minutes to warm through. Season with salt and pepper. Serves 4
