Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons water
8 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons lemon, zest
1 sprig fresh thyme
½ lb shrimp
2 cloves garlic
1 shallot
1 cup orzo
2 cups chicken stock
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
4 cups spinach
fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Over low heat, add water to your saucepan and slowly incorporate the butter, a few tablespoons at a time. Whisk together to make sure the water and butter combine and doesn't separate.
  • Add the lemon zest and sprig of thyme and give it a stir. Add the shrimp and poach for eight to 10 minutes. Remove shrimp and set aside. Discard the sprig of thyme.
  • In the same saucepan and over low heat, add garlic, shallots and the orzo. Salt and pepper to taste. Stir until all the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Pour in the chicken stock and cook until the orzo is al dente. Stir occasionally to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
  • Once the orzo is al dente, add the spinach. Stir in until just wilted. Remove from heat.
  • Serve the spinach and orzo, place a few shrimps on top and garnish with chopped parsley.
  • Enjoy!

This recipe is a waste of time and money. The shrimp were overcooked and the orzo was undercooked.
