- 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.
- Add the orzo and toast for about 3 minutes, stirring often, until slightly darker.

- 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.
- 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.
