Cooking Steps

Cook orzo
1
  • Add 6 cups water and 1 tsp salt to a medium pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Add orzo to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
  • Drain, then return orzo to the same pot, off heat.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Roughly chop dill.
  • Zest, then juice lemon.
Broil shrimp and onions
3
  • Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss shrimp with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil on one side of a foil-lined baking sheet.
  • On the other side of the baking sheet, toss onions with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil.
  • Broil in the middle of the oven until onions are tender and shrimp just turn pink, 5-6 min.**
Toast ciabatta
4
  • Halve ciabatta. Spread garlic spread on the cut-sides of ciabatta.
  • Arrange ciabatta on an unlined baking sheet, cut-side up. 
  • Toast until golden-brown, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!)
Finish and serve
