Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound medium raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 pinch red pepper flakes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ½ cups orzo
2 cups shrimp stock
¼ cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped parsley, or to taste
4 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Place shrimp in a large bowl and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) on Saute function. Add shallot and saute, stirring, for 1 1/2 minutes. Mix in garlic, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until garlic is fragrant, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the shallot mixture to the shrimp, stir in lemon juice, and refrigerate.
  • Clean inner pot, return to the Instant Pot®, and select Saute function. Melt butter and stir in orzo. Keep stirring until all the orzo is coated with butter, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add shrimp stock and white wine; stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Close and lock the lid.
  • Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 4 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Place the prepared shrimp in a single layer on top of the orzo.
  • Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure and set timer for 1 minute. Allow 5 to 10 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with fresh parsley and lemon slices for garnish.
