Ingredients

  • 1 lb cooked, peeled frozen shrimp (defrosted)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 1 zest lemon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 pint baby tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable stock paste
  • 1 cup dried orzo pasta
  • 2-2½ cups water
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • to taste fresh basil, mint, and cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine defrosted shrimp with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl, then set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add shrimp, and cook for 1 minute per side, then remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add onion and cook for about 5 minutes, then add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
  4. Stir in lemon juice and zest, then add half of the halved tomatoes, vegetable stock paste, and orzo, mixing well.
  5. Pour in 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, covering partially with a lid while cooking.
  6. Cook orzo until al dente, about 8-9 minutes, adding shrimp back in for 1-2 minutes to warm through.
  7. If orzo isn't fully cooked and liquid is low, add another ½ cup of water and cook a few more minutes.
  8. Serve topped with Greek yogurt, remaining tomatoes, and fresh herbs.
