Stick of Butter Shrimp and Orzo

Prawn

This stick of butter shrimp and orzo is a one-pot dinner that begins on the stovetop with creamy, cheesy orzo, that is topped with shrimp and finished in the oven. And yes, there is a whole stick of butter in the dish.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 cup orzo pasta
1/3 cup white wine
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 pound large frozen peeled shrimp, partially thawed
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 cup butter, cut into tablespoon-sized pieces
1 lemon, juiced
chopped parsley, for garnish

Description

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Heat oil in a large, deep ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt, and cook for 2 minutes.
Stir in orzo until coated and lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Add wine and cook for 1 minute, then stir in tomatoes and mushroom soup. Fill the tomato can with water and add to orzo mixture. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring often to prevent sticking, until pasta begins to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; remove from heat.
Top with 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese and arrange shrimp in a single layer on top. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste, and crushed red pepper, and top with butter. Sprinkle with lemon juice; cover with foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until orzo is tender and shrimp is pink and opaque, 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and stir until creamy. Stir in remaining Parmesan, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
