Shrimp Scampi With Orzo – The New York Times

My shrimp scampi with orzo has 20,000 five-star reviews. Sauté some garlic with butter and olive oil and then add the orzo, and stir it in the butter. This allows the orzo to toast and get a little bit nutty, and kind of develop its flavor. Then you just arrange the shrimp on top of that orzo, and then let it steam. When you open the skillet again, it’s like a great big surprise. You get hit with this really good smell of garlic. You have pink, very plump, snappy shrimp. And then you have this creamy orzo.
