Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
1 tsp olive oil
salt , to taste
pepper , to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
20 large fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf italian parsley, finely chopped
1 cup dry white wine
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf italian parsley, finely chopped
1 lemon , juice and zest of
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp capers, rinsed and drained

Directions:

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil, add orzo, and cook until al dente (per package instructions). Drain and toss with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
While orzo is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan, add garlic, and cook over low heat for 1 minute.
Add shrimp, a pinch of salt and pepper, and 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, and cook for 3-4 minutes, until shrimp are opaque. Remove from pan and keep warm.
Bring saute pan to high heat, add wine and lemon juice (to deglaze pan), and boil for 1 minute, or until liquid is reduced by half. (Note: if you double this sauce, it will take much longer to reduce to the right consistency, not just double the time.)
Remove saute pan from heat, add remaining 2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley, stir in butter, zest, adn capers, and check for seasonings.
Put shrimp back into sauce and serve on a bed of orzo.
