This casserole is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I also like to add a handful of chopped spinach or kale.

This casserole was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a lighter sauce.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The orzo cooks in the same pot as the shrimp, so there's minimal cleanup.
