Creamy Parmesan Shrimp and Orzo image

Simple, fast, and delicious, a creamy blend of parmesan, cream, orzo, shrimp and herbs. Thirty minutes start to finish on the stove top, or throw everything in the crockpot at the beginning of the day, it couldn't be easier. You can also substitute scallops or diced chicken for the shrimp, or leave out entirely for a creamy side dish.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the shrimp were a bit overcooked. I think I would try a different recipe next time.
