Looking for a delicious weeknight meal that’s easy to make and quick to clean up? Try this one-pan lemon shrimp orzo pasta! With vibrant flavors and ready in under 30 minutes, it’s the perfect solution for busy evenings when you want something satisfying without the fuss.

Ingredients:
* 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* Zest of 1 lemon
* 1 teaspoon paprika
* 1 cup orzo pasta
* 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
* Salt, to taste
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* Fresh parsley, chopped
* Lemon juice, to taste
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet or pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, lemon zest, and paprika. Cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
2. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the orzo pasta and chicken or vegetable broth. Season with salt to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook the orzo according to the package instructions, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
4. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
5. Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish. Stir everything together gently to combine and heat the shrimp through.
