Questions & Replies
-
Will a flat sheet pan hold two and a half cups of water? -
2 cups of dry orzo seems like a lot of pasta. How much is that in ounces? (I'm in WW). -
Are the shrimp raw or cooked? Either way, are the shrimp frozen or thawed?

This would have more taste using 2 cups of chicken stock, instead of water, with some minced shallots. -
First thanks for the tweaks! I used the chicken broth, & left out the Parmesan cheese, toned down the lemon a bit only used 1 slicing half & using juice from the other half. Didn't have a dry white, so used a sweet white wine, don't think it made that much of a difference. We liked it & would make again. Quick, cleanup a breeze, tasty. Thanks for sharing!

This did not turn out good. My (huge) chain grocery store didn't have orzo, so we decided on mini farfalle. It absorbed all of the liquid, and was totally dried out and tough. The only thing good about this was the shrimp. If I decide to make this again, will boil any pasta in a pan first, which makes way more sense . -
Easy to prepare. However, I found it a bit bland. Not sure what to add to add more flavor.
Tweaks

I substituted the 2 and 1/4 cups of water for the same amount of clam juice. It gave it a nice rich taste -

I want to make this, but I will sautee in the butter the garlic and add minced shallot, before I toss with the shrimp. I might grill the lemon slices then place on the pan.
