  •  1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup dry orzo pasta

Directions:

  • Place shrimp in a bowl and toss with flour, salt and pepper to absorb any excess moisture.

  • Add butter to pan, along with onion, bell pepper, garlic and chili flakes to same skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until aromatic, about 3 minutes and turn the heat to medium high. Add in orzo and allow grains to toast for 1 to 2 minutes. Add white wine and broth, bring to a simmer until grains are al dente and most of liquid is absorbed (about 12 minutes).
  • Stir in fresh spinach and add shrimp back into the pan, turn off heat and cover for about 2 minutes to wilt spinach and finish cooking shrimp. Add fresh lemon and stir to distribute and drizzle with olive oil, enjoy!!!
