Print Recipe

This Italian-style one-pan dinner features seared garlic shrimp with smoked paprika and Italian seasoning, combined with creamy orzo, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and artichokes. Ready in 30 minutes, it’s packed with protein and fiber for a simple weeknight meal.[1]

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb raw shrimp (peeled and deveined, 16–20 count)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup uncooked orzo
  • 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed)
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 5 oz spinach
  • 1 cup artichokes (canned or jarred, drained and chopped)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Season shrimp with 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and shrimp; sear for 2 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp to a plate.[1]
  2. To the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and 1 cup uncooked orzo. Cook on medium heat, stirring, for 2 minutes until orzo is lightly browned. Add 2 cups chicken stock and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer on medium-low for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until orzo is cooked through.[1]
  3. Stir in spinach, artichokes, and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Cook on low-medium heat until spinach wilts. Return seared shrimp to the skillet. Simmer for 2 minutes until warmed through. Season with additional salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if desired.[1]

Notes

Serve with a simple green salad or garlic butter rolls. Use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for best flavor. Adjust cream for desired creaminess.[1]
