INGREDIENTS • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon juice (from 1 lemon) • ½ teaspoon red-pepper flakes • Kosher salt and black pepper • 4 garlic cloves, minced • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter • 1 cup orzo • ⅓ cup dry white wine • 2 cups boiling water, seafood stock, or chicken stock • 3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley PREPARATION 1. In a medium bowl, stir together the shrimp, 1 tablespoon olive oil, the lemon zest, red-pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and half the garlic. Set aside to marinate (this step can be done up to 1 hour in advance). 2. To a medium skillet, add the butter, the remaining olive oil and garlic, and heat over medium. When the butter starts to bubble, add the orzo and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until the orzo is toasted, about 2 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent the garlic from burning. Carefully add the wine (it will bubble) and stir until absorbed, about 1 minute. Stir in the water or stock, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the orzo is al dente, about 12 minutes. 3. Add the shrimp in a snug, even layer on top of the orzo, cover, and cook until all the shrimp is pink and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, 2 minutes. 4. Sprinkle with parsley and lemon juice, season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
