A delicious and zesty shrimp orzo dish with garlic and lemon.
Zutaten
- 450 g large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 240 g orzo pasta
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 whole lemon (juice and zest)
- 60 ml olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 480 ml vegetable or chicken broth
- 25 g fresh parsley, chopped
- to taste salt and pepper
- optional grated Parmesan for serving
Anleitungen
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the orzo and toast for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently to give the pasta a nutty flavor.
- Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and the cooked shrimp into the orzo. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined and heated through.
- Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
