CREAMY Orzo Shrimp Pasta!

This Orzo dish with lemon, the last of the courgettes, a bag of frozen peas & prawns is surprisingly simple to pull together when you need an easy lunch or dinner. It’s also a dish I like to feed our boys when I’m using up the last veggies in the fridge!

Basically Italians can't live without Pasta, even their rice is pasta.

[@donalskehan]

yup! 🤣

[@2AZSUN]

And our friend Donal has done it again! This one looks so easy and so tasty. There's so many directions you can take this one and still keep it simple and incredible. Thanks for another fantastic idea for dinner!!

[@TheOtherSideOfTheStove]

I love these type of recipes especially since here in the U.S.A its the start of fall. I like how you can put in almost any protein and vegetables...and the tip of the spinach is great. Yes with the freezer peas!!! This comes together fast and looks elegant.....And the zest is perfect, it's "electric flavor"... love that description...and not sure why someone would be annoyed about half a lemon....I am sure you can use that other half of lemon when you reheat the left overs the next day-

[@chrili4069]

I was amazed by the lemon - first you slice a lemon in half and use one half for the shrimps, and later you cut another lemon in half and again use just one half! 😉😇

[@johnmc3862]

Editing.

[@nadiaminuzzo]

I just love this ! Nailed it again Donal. I make your creamy lemon pasta often and it never fails to incite an immense amount of pure happiness in me when I eat it. Your Irish toastie with corned beef, mature cheddar and cabbage slaw is mine and my husband's favourite Friday-chill-and-netflix-dinner ! And this, this is going to be another favourite ! Thank you !!!

[@susanreedy29]

Wow! This looks fantastic! My family would definitely love this, but also lends itself to eating solo, in a large bowl watching a favorite movie! I think the parm is a great addition in this type of pasta dish, which is similar to risotto. I love dishes where you can prep and do clean up ahead of time (clean the shrimp, chop the veg, juice and zest the lemon etc), then put the recipe together easily as soon as the Orzo is cooked! Another winner!

[@donalskehan]

Thanks Susan!

[@DrBrunoRecipes]

Looks delicious 😋 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻

[@danielad.927]

Hi Donal! I found your channel yesterday and immediately cooked the creamy orzo shrimp pasta! My children and my husband gave your recipe a 10 out of 10! It is fantastic and so easy! I have to cook it tonight again! 😍👍

[@myracof]

Made this and it was fantastic! Thank you.

Donal while making a Chicken Dish: “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!” Donal every alternate day: “Winner Winner Pasta Dinner!”

[@donalskehan]

hahaha you know it!

[@kathleenmoritz4340]

This looks amazing and had all my favorites mixed in! I can't wait to try this!! Thank you.

[@rattylol]

I did it with fresh haddock as I don't like shellfish, superb!

[@serenaterry387]

Oh my goodness! I love seafood, and this just elevates the flavor and makes it even better! Also, I have never tried orzo before, but it looks delicious!

[@marnellecorege5595]

Looks amazing - never really have cream in my fridge, so I think I would swap that out for coconut cream/milk in a tin - can't wait to try - cheers

[@sunnybayliss3221]

Oooh, coconut cream would be yum, great idea!!!

[@Mochi-sn3ud]

Marnelle Corege... that is a wonderful idea and thank you!

[@wonderfullymade8309]

Hi Donal! I just discovered your channel and what a recipe to start with! I cannot wait to make this. I think even some fennel cooked off in this would be fantastic as well! Can't wait to check out your other videos!

[@eatwithnymble]

Nothing like a rich creamy pasta to end the day. Really going to enjoy recreating this one on our cooking robot Julia! 😍😍

[@asma007mbr]

Thank you, it was easy and it tasted really good even off I just trust it you with the ingredients.

[@cps-slc]

[@Lynda957]

Made this yesterday! It was delicious. Added another 1/2lb of zucchini just to add some more veggies

[@e.lauratatulescu7595]

I can't wait to try this. Looks delicious!!!!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Donal, you made a version of Khichdi. The Orzo dish and Khichdi are great for change of season meals.

[@KelvinsKitchen]

CREAMY Orzo Shrimp Pasta is my fave 😜

[@lisacurtis587]

Absolutely delicious!!

[@clarry6379]

Just made this and wow! Family loves it - thank you Donal! Also made your sticky date pudding last night and that was a hit

[@SeanBaker]

This is a nice a simple dish. I'm slightly annoyed you cut a second whole lemon when you had a half lemon ready.

[@helenwong1214]

Perfect pasta dinner !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@donalskehan]

YAS HELEN!

[@belialbathory2299]

[@shaqtaku]

I love orzo so much I think i can eat 250g of orzo all by myself 😂

[@tasteacooking505]

Looks tasty ☺️

[@corinnebodine3991]

looks perfect, how do I get recipes

[@sammistarkey7503]

I think that this recipe will be the one my parents, will talk into.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Orzo low-key looks like Basmati Rice. It looks comforting.

[@secretforreddit]

Who cares about the kids, I think I could eat this whole thing myself!

[@2bczar4u]

Oh yummmmm o!

[@motherofslavs8761]

Where I'm from Orzo iz a dialect word for barley grain.
