This is one of our favorites. It's delicious, satisfying and reheats well. My husband would rather have "the orzo dish" than go out to eat. Serve it with crusty bread and salad. —Molly Seidel, Edgewood, New Mexico

This dish was delicious and easy to make. I used frozen shrimp and it turned out great. I also added some chopped red bell pepper and zucchini to the dish and it was even better. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
