Lemon Garlic Shrimp Orzo

Ingredients

• 1.25 lb Raw shrimp
• 1.5 cup Orzo
• 5 oz Baby spinach
• 3 cup Chicken broth
• 2 item Lemon
• 4 oz Parmesan cheese
• 4 clove Garlic
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes
• 0.5 tsp Kosher salt

Directions

1. Season shrimp and sear briefly in a wide pot, then remove; cook shrimp until opaque and firm, or 145°F at the center; remove promptly to prevent toughness.
2. Add garlic and orzo and toast for one minute.
3. Pour in broth and simmer, stirring, until orzo is almost tender.
4. Fold in spinach, shrimp, lemon juice, and Parmesan.
5. Rest a few minutes so the sauce thickens before serving.
