Ingredients
- 2/3 cup orzo
- 12 ounces shrimp frozen, tail-off preferred
- 6 medium roma tomatoes diced

- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 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.
