I thought this dish was just okay. The orzo was a little mushy and the shrimp were a bit overcooked. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. The orzo cooked in no time and the shrimp were done in a few minutes. The saffron added a nice touch of flavor. I would definitely make this again.

I was skeptical about the saffron, but it really made the dish. The orzo was cooked perfectly and the shrimp were cooked just right. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a delicious and healthy meal.
