Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound orzo pasta
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1.5 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • ½ cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Sauté the onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes; cook for another minute.
  2. Stir in orzo pasta; toast for 1-2 minutes. If using white wine, add it now to deglaze the pan.
  3. Pour in chicken broth along with lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover; simmer for 10-12 minutes until most liquid is absorbed.
  4. Uncover and gently stir in shrimp until submerged; cover again and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until shrimp are pink.
  5. Remove from heat; stir in Parmesan cheese and heavy cream until smooth.
  6. Mix in fresh lemon juice and parsley before serving.
