Shrimp and Orzo Pilaf

By dmscott52

7/11/2018- I found that you only need about 1/2 pound of orzo.Also, it needs more time to cook. I would simmer it for 10 minutes then let sit.

Preparation

Step 1

1. Bring broth to a boil in a large Dutch oven, stir in orzo. Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and cover,

2. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic;saute 1 minute. Add shrimp; saute for 2 minutes. Add carrot, bell peppers, tomato sprinkles, salt and black pepper, cook 2 minutes or until shrimp are done and vegetables are tender, stirring frequently. Stir in 1/4 cup almonds. Combine shrimp mixture and orzo; sprinkle with remaining almonds.
