Add the orzo pasta to the pan and stir well to coat it in the oil and aromatics. Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the orzo is al dente.
Once the orzo is cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed, add the peeled and deveined shrimp, followed by the heavy cream, smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently and allow it to cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Remove the pan from heat. Garnish your Creamy Shrimp Orzo One-Pan Dinner with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately.
Notes
A gourmet meal in just one pan combining shrimp, orzo, and a luscious creaminess.
