Prep
1
  • Before starting, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings).
  • Wash and dry all produce.

  • Finely chop parsley.
  • Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half moons.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
Cook orzo

  • To the boiling water, add orzo. Cook for 8-10 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Strain orzo, reserving 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) of pasta water, then return to the pot, off heat.

  • Meanwhile, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and half the Mediterranean Spice Blend.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
