Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the dry orzo until tender, about 8 to 9 minutes, then drain and set aside.
While the orzo cooks, pat the raw shrimp dry with paper towels and season them evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the shrimp for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside; add the minced garlic and halved raw cherry tomatoes to the same pan.
Sauté the tomatoes and garlic for 2 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the raw baby spinach and dried oregano to the skillet, stirring for 1 minute until the leaves just begin to wilt.
Return the cooked orzo and shrimp to the pan, drizzle with the lemon juice, and toss everything together to combine.
Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot.
