How to sear the shrimp

This recipe uses 1 lb of large raw shrimp (peeled and deveined) which usually means 16 or 20 count. Season the shrimp with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet until hot. Add shrimp and minced garlic, and cook for about 2 minutes per side.

Make sure the shrimp are not overcrowded to avoid steaming. You might have to work in batches. Remove shrimp to a plate.

How to cook orzo

To the same, now empty, skillet, add chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 1 cup of uncooked orzo, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the orzo on medium heat, stirring, for about 2 minutes until browned.

Add 2 cups of chicken stock and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer (medium-low) and cook for about 5 or 10 minutes, occasionally stirring to prevent the orzo from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until the orzo is cooked through.

Add spinach, artichokes, and cream. Stir everything on low-medium heat until the spinach wilts.

Add seared shrimp to the skillet with the cream sauce. Simmer for about 2 minutes (or more), until everything is warmed through.

Season with salt and pepper and more smoked paprika, if desired.
