This dish is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts to the sauce and it was amazing.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. I served it over spaghetti and it was a hit with my family.

This recipe was a disappointment. The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

The shrimp scampi was good, but the sauce was a little too salty for my taste. Next time I'll use less salt.

I love how versatile this recipe is. You can add different vegetables, herbs, and spices to change up the flavor. I've even made it with chicken instead of shrimp.

I'm not a big fan of shrimp, but I loved this dish. The sauce is creamy and flavorful and the orzo is cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a hit. The shrimp are cooked perfectly and the sauce is delicious. I like to serve it over angel hair pasta instead of orzo.

This shrimp scampi is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The orzo cooks in the same pot as the shrimp, so there's minimal cleanup. And the green onions add a nice pop of flavor.
