How to Make Shrimp Orzo Lemon Garlic

• Start by cooking the orzo according to the package instructions. Once done, drain the pasta and set it aside, allowing it to cool slightly.
• In a large skillet, pour in the olive oil and heat over medium heat. The oil should shimmer, creating a welcoming base for your ingredients.
• Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Gently toss in the shrimp and cook until they turn a lovely pink color, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
• Stir in the lemon juice and zest, along with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the cooked orzo to the shrimp mixture and mix well. Let everything heat together for an additional minute.
• Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top before serving.
