Tips:
- Choose fresh, large shrimp. Smaller shrimp will dry out more easily during roasting.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and color to the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp and vegetables from cooking evenly.
- Roast at a high temperature. This will help to caramelize the shrimp and vegetables and give them a nice browned color.
- Season the shrimp and vegetables well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Cook the orzo separately. This will prevent it from getting overcooked.
- Add the orzo to the shrimp and vegetables after they have finished roasting. This will help to keep the orzo from drying out.
Conclusion:
Roasted shrimp and orzo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp is succulent and flavorful, the vegetables are roasted to perfection, and the orzo is cooked al dente. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
