Creamy Lemon Orzo with Shrimp

Directions

1. In a large deep skillet, melt 4 Tbs butter on medium heat.

2. Add the shrimp, seasonings and 4 lemon slices to the pan. Gently toss to coat with shrimp with butter and seasonings. Cook until pink, about 3 minutes on each side. When cooked through, remove the shrimp and lemon from the pan and set aside.

3. Add the remaining butter and lemon slices to the pan.

4. Add the orzo to the pan and stir to coat with the butter. Cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly golden.

5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a low boil. Cook until the broth is absorbed and orzo is al dente. About 12-14 minutes.

6. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

7. Add the heavy cream and parmesan. Stir until it comes to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes and it begins to thicken.

8. Remove from the heat and add the cooked shrimp back to the pan.

9. Serve immediately.
