Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
8 ounces orzo pasta
2 cups chicken broth
1 can (14 1/2 ounce) diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup frozen peas
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, to taste; set aside. Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, onion and oregano, and cook, stirring often, until onions have become translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in orzo until lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, peas, lemon juice and shrimp. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Place into oven and bake until shrimp are cooked through, about 12-14 minutes. Serve immediately.
