Add in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook another 3-4 minutes.
Toss in the shrimp. Add plenty of black pepper.

This was absolutely delicious and so easy to make! The ratios did seem slightly off though. It seemed as if there were way more shrimp than orzo but I didn’t weigh my fiancé’s two servings so that might have been the issue 🙂
Can I purchase already cooked for orzo from the deli and stir in accordingly to directions? To mix it and warm it up?
Yes! That should work fine in this!!
