One Pan Mediterranean Shrimp Orzo

salted butter

extra virgin olive oil

shrimp,

garlic, chopped

salt

pepper

lemon

of a small yellow onion

garlic,

oregano

red pepper flakes

orzo

dry white wine

chicken broth

juice of 1/2 a lemon

grape or cherry tomatoes, halved

Castelvetrano olives, pitted and halved

mint,

feta,

lemon wedges

Heat a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil. Once butter has melted and skillet is hot, add the shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until shrimp is opague and cooked through. Add the lemon zest and stir to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Remove shrimp from pan and set aside in a bowl.

Using the same skillet over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil. Add the onion/shallot, garlic, oregano, and crushed red pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure the garlic doesn&#x27;t burn. Add the orzo and salt, stir to combine, and let toast, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add the white wine and increase to medium-high heat. Let the wine reduce for 1-2 minutes.

Once wine has reduced, add the chicken stock and raise heat to high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and continue to cook the orzo, stirring frequently, to ensure that the orzo doesn&#x27;t stick to the bottom of the pan, until all liquid is absorbed, and orzo is al dente, about 12-15 minutes. If it seems like it needs more liquid and pasta isn&#x27;t quite cooked through, add an extra 1/2 cup of stock or water, until orzo is cooked to your liking.

Once orzo is cooked, let cool for a few minutes, then stir in lemon juice. Add the grape tomatoes and olives and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped herbs. Add the shrimp back into the pan, and top with the feta. Finish with zest of 1/2 a lemon. Serve with extra chopped herbs and lemon wedges.
