Enjoy a vibrant dish featuring succulent seared shrimp nestled on a bed of creamy lemon garlic orzo and fresh greens. The light tang from lemon and the smooth texture of nonfat Greek yogurt elevate this dish, making it a perfect balance of flavors and nutrients for a wholesome meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Shrimp
1/2 cup dry Orzo
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (juiced)
1 clove Garlic
1 cup Fresh Spinach
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the orzo according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a light, creamy sauce.
Pat the shrimp dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Mix the cooked orzo with the creamy sauce, stirring to evenly coat the pasta.
Fold in the fresh spinach so it slightly wilts from the warmth of the orzo.
Plate the creamy orzo mixture and arrange the seared shrimp on top. Garnish with extra lemon zest if desired, and serve immediately.
