Ingredients
  

Pasta and Shrimp
  • 1 cup orzo uncooked
  • 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 4 cups chicken broth low sodium
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Method
 

Cook the Shrimp
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Add the shrimp, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Orzo
  1. In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  2. Stir in the orzo and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 10-12 minutes.
Combine and Serve
  1. Once the orzo is cooked, stir in the cooked shrimp and Parmesan cheese. Mix well until the cheese is melted and everything is combined.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
