Recipe Notes
See the video for an easy tutorial.
NOTES To Make Shrimp and Orzo Skillet: Use raw shrimp.  Medium.  21-25 count.   Tail or no tail...depends on if you don't
mind removing them while dining.  I kinda like it.  Food weirdo.Substitute broccoli or asparagus for the frozen peas or use both
and veggie it way up!Substitute feta for the parmesan.Great for lunch the next day, cold or warm,  and stays fresh in the fridge for
a couple days.
