How to Make Orzo With Baked Shrimps

  1. In a large pot, combine 4 cups of water, 1 cup chopped vegetables (such as carrots, celery, and onion), 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes.
  3. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
  4. Return the blended mixture to the pot. Bring to a boil, then add 1 cup orzo pasta. Reduce heat and simmer for 7-8 minutes, or until the orzo is cooked through but still slightly firm.
  5. Drain any excess liquid from the orzo.
  6. While the orzo cooks, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange 1 pound of shrimp on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon curry powder, and 2 cloves of minced garlic.
  7. Bake the shrimp for 12-15 minutes, or until they are pink and cooked through.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice to make a simple vinaigrette.
  9. Serve the cooked orzo. Top with the baked shrimp and drizzle with the lemon vinaigrette. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon zest (optional).
