Cooking time you could have this on the table for dinner in no time this video is sponsored by Community Natural Foods there are 45-year-old laberta company that is dedicated to the cleanest best tasting Fresh Products today they have provided me with some amazing shrimp from sis shrimp they’re non GMO and
Raised without feed or chemicals they are climate neutral and certified sustainable so let’s get into it want to start by draining one cup of sundried tomatoes reserving the oil and setting the tomatoes aside heat a tablespoon of the sundried tomato oil in a large Skillet or pot over medium high
Heat once it’s hot add one pound of shrimp to the skillet and sear for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they develop a Golden Crust now we’re not fully cooking the shrimp here we’re just giving a bit of color once that’s done remove the shrimp from the skillet and
Set it aside now reduce the heat to medium add three cloves in minced garlic and one chopped onion to the skillet and sauté it until it’s translucent about 2 to 3 minutes add in one cup of Oro pasta and cook for 1 to 2 minutes making sure
All the pasta gets coated in oil then adding your sun-dried tomatoes and then add in three cups of chicken stock or vegetable broth to the pot bring your stock to a simmer and cook the orizo pasta until it’s all Dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed keep an eye
On your orzo as it Cooks stirring constantly is going to prevent sticking since different brands have slightly different cooking times check the Oro a few minutes before the package suggests to ensure it doesn’t overcook you might need to adjust the broth amount to ensure the orzo Cooks perfectly add a
Small bit more stock if you think you need it once your orzo is just about cooked stir in one cup of heavy cream and two cups of fresh spinach leaves cook until the spinach is wilted and the cream has heated through now return your seared shrimp to the pan and add in your
Asparagus pieces if you’re like me you forgot to add the asparagus don’t be like me make sure you add your asparagus now mixing your shrimp and your asparagus cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the shrimp are heated through if you find your sauce is too
Thick after adding the cream you can thin it slightly with a bit more broth or water on the other hand if it’s too thin let it simmer a bit longer to reduce and thicken up then stir in half a cup of Parmesan cheese now make sure you use freshly grated Parmesan cheese
As it melts better and integrates into the sauce more smoothly than pregrated cheeses which sometimes can contain anti-caking agents then season with some salt and pepper to taste garnish with some fresh parsley if desired then serve hot this dish is amazing on its own but
It can be served with a side of crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce and there you have it my one pot creamy tusin shrimp with orizo remember cooking is not just about the final dish but it’s also about the joy of creating something delicious take your time taste
