It is a very easy dish to make and only take 30 minutes and 1 pot. Easy clean up, I like that a lot.
You can also make enough for 2 or for a crowd. This dish can be served hot or at room temp. If you do not have wild shrimp ( again I only by wild caught fish) you can put your favorite veggies, chicken, salmon would be great in it. The possibilities are endless. Here is the recipe:
8 oz Shrimp, salt, fresh ground pepper, sugar. mix together in bowl. Heat up skillet with a little olive oil. When hot put shrimp in a single layer for about 1 minute each side. Place in a bowl and set aside.
Deglaze pan with a little sherry, add 8 oz Orzo, 2 cloves garlic, 2 cups chicken broth or veggie broth, let this cook for about 20 minutes, add 2 Tbsp lemon juice (fresh), lemon zest, 1 cup soy beans and fresh cut asparagus, salt to taste. cook for 5 more minutes. put on a platter, put shrimp on top and serve.

Took about 30 minutes and my family loves it. we will take the rest for lunches. Be creative, use what is on sale, and what veggies are in season. Take this recipe to your next potluck or on a picnic.
Most foods that I cook do come from cookbooks, I do tend to tweak the recipes to fit my families needs and budget. Why reinvent the wheel. I feel I have become a better cook following a recipe because it has showed me how to mix flavors and foods together. I enjoy cooking and well as learning different way to cook and that is where a cookbook come into play.
