Ingredients

Instructions

1. Cook the orzo according to the package directions. Drain, toss with a little oil and set aside.
2. Heat the tomatoes and olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat, covered, until soft and partly blistered, about 5 minutes.
3. Gently smash the tomatoes with the back of a spoon so they are partly burst and release juices.
4. Make a space in the centre, add the shrimp, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook 2 minutes per side.
5. Add the garlic, 2 tablespoons butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir, let it turn saucy and bubbly, then take off the heat and cover.
6. Mix the orzo with butter, half and half, Parmesan and lemon (optional), stirring well and rewarming over heat if needed.
7. Serve immediately, with the orzo alongside a scoop of shrimp and tomatoes.
