Method

  1. Toss the shrimp with the salt and pepper flakes.
  2. Heat the oil in the skillet over medium-high. Lay the shrimp in one layer and cook 1 minute per side, just until pink. Move them to a plate; they finish cooking later.
  3. Lower the heat to medium and add the butter, shallot and garlic. Stir 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Add the orzo and stir 2 minutes so it toasts lightly in the butter.
  5. Pour in the broth, bring to a simmer, cover and cook 10 to 12 minutes, stirring twice, until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Stir in the peas, parmesan, lemon zest and juice. Return the shrimp and any juices, cover and leave off the heat 2 minutes. Top with parsley.
