4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Cook, turning once, until lightly seared, about 1 ½ minutes per side. Add additional 1 tablespoon olive oil halfway through cooking if skillet is dry. Remove shrimp to a plate. Reduce heat to medium-high and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add fennel, garlic, chile flakes. Season with salt and pepper and cook until softened and golden in spots, about 4 minutes.

Add chicken broth, stir to combine, and return shrimp to skillet, nestling them into as even a layer as possible. Bring to a boil and transfer to oven. Bake 4 minutes, stir gently, and continue baking until orzo is cooked through, about 4 minutes more.

This was a delicious and easy-to-make dish! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the orzo was al dente. The sauce was flavorful and the lemon and dill gave it a nice, bright flavor. I will definitely be making this again!

Not bad! The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the orzo was cooked perfectly. The sauce was flavorful and the lemon and dill gave it a nice, bright flavor. I would make this again, but I would cook the shrimp for a shorter amount of time.

Not a fan. The shrimp were overcooked and the orzo was mushy. The sauce was also bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

Easy to make and delicious! I used frozen shrimp and it turned out great. The sauce was flavorful and the orzo was cooked perfectly. I added a bit of extra lemon zest and it really brightened up the dish.
