Ingredients
For 2 servings- 150 g orzo pasta, uncooked
- 250 g shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 150 g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 50 g baby spinach
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 20 g fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 tsp salt
Method
Cook the orzo in boiling salted water according to the package timing, then drain.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and cook the shrimp for 2 minutes per side until pink, then remove from the heat.
Toss the warm orzo with the cherry tomatoes and spinach so the spinach wilts slightly.
Whisk the lemon juice, remaining olive oil and salt, then pour over the orzo.
Top with the shrimp and parsley before serving.
