Creamy Orzo:
- 8 Ounces uncooked orzo
- 1/2 Half and Half
- 1/4 Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- Half a teaspoon of Fine kosher Salt
- Lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Orzo: Follow the package instructions. Drain and toss the orzo with some oil. Set aside.
- Soften Tomatoes: Add tomatoes and olive oil to a pan on medium heat so that they soften and become a little blistered. I cover the pan with a lid to prevent extra splatters.
- Smash Tomatoes: When they are soft (5 minutes), gently smash them with the backside of a fork or apply even pressure using a flat plate or other similar object. You want to partially break or burst the tomatoes so that they release juices.
- Cook Shrimp: Make an opening in the middle of the tomato and place your shrimp in. Season them with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook on each side for 2 minutes.
- Give It Some Flava-Flavor: Add garlic, Butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the pan and stir it to combine it. Remove from heat when it becomes bubbly and saucy. Cover with a lid.
- To make the orzo, Combine the orzo, Butter, half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, and lemon. Stir well to combine. If necessary, warm over heat.
- Pile up the orzo: Serve it immediately to prevent it from becoming too starchy. Add a large scoop of shrimp and tomatoes to the orzo. Add thyme to the top. It’s so good!
