Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup chopped shallots
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tbsp garlic, chopped
2 cups ( low-fat, low-sodium) chicken broth
1/2 lb frozen peas
1/2 lb orzo pasta
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

Directions:

Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until they are browned. Be careful not to burn them.
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir until it turns opaque. Add the chicken broth and peas. Bring to a simmer for 15 minutes, then remove from heat. Place the mixture into blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
In a large pot, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add the orzo pasta and 1 tsp salt. Stir immediately to prevent the pasta from sticking. Cook until the pasta is done, about 10-12 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and stir quickly to cook. When the shrimp has turned opaque, add the sun-dried tomatoes and toss gently.
Mix the pasta and pea puree. Serve the pasta with the shrimp mixture on top.
