Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1 - pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons - extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 - tablespoon lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon juice (from 1 lemon)
- 1/2 - teaspoon red-pepper flakes
- 4 - garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons - unsalted butter
- 1 - cup orzo
- 2 cups - boiling water, seafood stock or chicken stock
- 3 tablespoons - finely chopped parsley
- - kosher salt and fresh black pepper
- 1/3 cups - dry white wine
Directions:
In a medium bowl, stir together shrimp, 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon zest, red-pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and half the garlic. Set aside to marinate. (This step can be done up to 1 hour in advance.)
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 1/2 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. 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.
Add the shrimp in a snug, even layer on top of the orzo, cover, and cook until all the shrimp is pink and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, 2 minutes.
Sprinkle with parsley and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
