Simple seasoned smoky shrimp are quickly grilled or broiled and served on top of this rich, cheesy, creamy pasta dish. Very filling and decadent tasting, yet quick and easy to make!
Ingredients
- 2lbs shrimp cleaned, tails on or off, your preference shopping list
- 1 lemon or 2 limes shopping list
- 1t smoked salt or salt blend(I used applewood smoked) shopping list
- 6T stick butter, 4T melted, 2T, cold shopping list
- 1lb orzo shopping list
- 2 cups chicken stock or broth shopping list
- 8oz smoked or chipotle gouda, grated shopping list
- fresh ground black pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Boil orzo per package directions but using 2 cups chicken stock or broth for that portion of the water, called for. Cook to JUST al dente, drain but reserve about 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Rinse with water, shake well to separate and let drain, again.
- When drained, add back to the pan and add 2T cold butter, pepper, cheese and about half of the reserved liquid.
- Heat at low temperature, stirring often, until cheese has melted. Add more liquid, as needed, for desired consistency.
- Add lemon or lime juice, melted butter, smoked salt and fresh ground pepper to shrimp in large bowl.
- Grill or broil shrimp until turns pink and just begins to curl. This will only take about a minute, maybe less, or each side, if the grill is hot enough. Do not over cook. :)
- Serve shrimp over orzo.
