Tuscan Orzo is an easy delicious one pan meal! The orzo cooks chicken broth and cream with tomatoes and spinach. I like to top it off with shrimp but you can enjoy it as is or add any protein of choice!

Tuscan Orzo with Shrimp

Ingredients
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 garlic cloves, minced
10 oz grape or cherry tomatoes (can also used diced Roma tomatoes)
1 3/4 cup dry orzo pasta
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
3 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese


Directions
Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat oil in the pan over medium high heat and cook shrimp until cooked through. Removed and set aside.
Add more oil and sauté garlic for 30 seconds over medium heat.
Add tomatoes and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in orzo and cook for another minute.
Add chicken broth and heavy cream and season well with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium low. Cover and let simmer for 12 minutes, stirring at the halfway point to prevent orzo from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Stir in spinach and cook until just wilted.
Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese. Season with more salt if needed and top with cooked shrimp.
