Instructions

1. Toss the shrimp with the salt, pepper and garlic powder in a bowl.
2. Heat a pan over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, sear the shrimp about 30 seconds per side until coloured, then remove from the heat and set aside on a plate.
3. In the same pan, sear the lemon slices about 30 seconds per side, then set them aside with the shrimp.
4. In the same pan, cook the onion and minced garlic over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the oregano.
5. Add the orzo and toast for about 3 minutes, stirring often, until slightly darker.
6. Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the orzo absorbs it. Immediately add the chicken broth.
7. Bring to a simmer, reduce to low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until the orzo has absorbed about 90% of the broth.
8. Return the shrimp and lemon to the pan and cook about 2 minutes until warmed through. Season with more salt and pepper to taste, and top with fresh basil.
