🥘 One Pot Recipe: Smoky Cajun Shrimp Orzo
✨Ingredients:
* 1 pound dried orzo pasta
* 1 (28oz) can diced fire roasted tomatoes
* 1 tablespoon salt-free Cajun spice blend
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 2 teaspoons kosher salt
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 4 cups water
* 1 pound raw large peeled and deveined shrimp, thawed if frozen
* 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
✨Instructions:
1. Combine 1 pound dried orzo pasta, 1 can diced fire roasted tomatoes and their juices, 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and 4 cups water in a 3 1/2-quart straight sided skillet or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat.
2. Boil, stirring frequently so that the orzo doesn’t stick, about 8 minutes. Add 1 pound raw large peeled and deveined shrimp and cook until the orzo is al dente and the shrimp are cooked through and opaque, about 2 minutes more. Sprinkle each serving with oregano.
🍴🍲 Continuing my one-pot recipes for back-to-school! I took the original recipe and changed it up a bit. I used Old Bay seasoning that I already had in the cabinet - the original called for salt-free cajun spice blend. If I had to do this recipe again I would use fresh oregano or a lighter dose of oregano spice. Again, this was such an easy clean up!
