A member of a family of small pasta shapes collectively referred to as pastina in Italian, orzo literally translates to “barley,” probably because of its barley-like shape.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the orzo

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain, reserving ⅓ cup [¾ cup] pasta cooking water.
While the water heats and the orzo cooks, prepare the shrimp and tomato sauce.

2

Prep the sauce ingredients and shrimp

  • Peel and finely chop the shallots.
  • Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure 1 teaspoon [2 tsp].
  • Rinse the shrimp, then drain on a paper-towel-lined plate and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper.

3

Cook the tomato sauce and shrimp

In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm 2 to 3 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the shallots, garlic, paprika, and as much Urfa chile as you like and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in 3 tablespoons [¼ cup] white wine, if using, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the tomatoes, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring often, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir in the shrimp and reserved pasta cooking water and cook, turning once, until the shrimp are firm and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side for regular shrimp, 2 to 3 minutes per side for jumbo shrimp.
While the sauce and shrimp cook, prepare the garnishes.

4

Prep the garnishes

  • Strip the mint leaves from the stems and coarsely chop enough leaves to measure 2 tablespoons [¼ cup]. Save the rest for another use.
  • Strip the oregano leaves from the stems and coarsely chop enough leaves to measure 1 tablespoon [2 TBL]. Save the rest for another use.

5

Serve

Transfer the orzo to individual bowls. Drizzle each serving with ½ teaspoon oil and toss in the feta. Spoon the shrimp and tomato sauce on top. Garnish with the mint and oregano and serve.

Kids Can!
