Yummy Shrimp Dinner

Oh this was so good. I had to take a picture of it. I have made it a few times and I love it. We had corn from my very own garden with it this time. There's pasta under the shrimp, but Dakoda and I love lots of shrimp on top.

For you Christie....

For orzo, in same skillet, combine orzo, garlic, broth and clam juice. Bring to boil. Cover and reduce heat. Cook 10-12 minutes until orzo is cooked through.

As orzo cooks, zest lemon to measure 1 TBL zest. juice lemon to measure t TBL. Thinly slice mint (or parsley).
