Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup orzo
  • 12 ounces shrimp frozen, tail-off preferred
  • 6 medium roma tomatoes diced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoons basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic diced
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 2 tablespoons Italian dressing
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 2 tbsp parmesan cheese grated

Instructions
 

Pasta

  • Cook the orzo pasta by boiling in salted water until tender. Drain and set aside.

Frying Pan

  • Once you've added the orzo to the water and it is cooking, place the frozen shrimp in the frying pan and cook on medium-high heat to thaw.
  • Once the ice is off, drain the water from the pan.
  • When the orzo is done, return the shrimp to the pan and add the diced tomatoes, mushrooms, and basil leaves. Stir and cook until the mushrooms start to soften.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and add garlic, capers, and Italian dressing. Cook until reduced.
  • Add the orzo and stir occassionally until heated throughout.
  • Salt and pepper to taste and serve on a plate. Top with parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Substitute penne pasta for orzo.
  • Substitute cubed ham for the shrimp.
  • Add bell peppers and/or green onions if desired.
  • Tastefully Simple Seasoned Salt adds a nice touch too.
