Deelicious! I accidentally overcooked my orzo a little bit -- not used to this pasta, but it's now my new favorite. I should have cooked it for only 8 minutes, but usually I cook pasta a minute or two past the recommendation on the package. The shrimp were perfectly done. It's so good. Thanks! I am adding this to my cookbook.

My DH said on a scale of 1 to 10 it was an eleven! I guess you'll get the idea he loved this dish. Thanks ever so much NurseDi. I was thinking next time I would like to try it with chicken tenderloins instead of shrimp.
