This is a great dish which you can prepare in less than 30 minutes. This is what you will need:
12 oz. orzo pasta (a seed like pasta made from semolina a.k.a. melon seed)
5 strips bacon
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Salt & Pepper
First, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the orzo as per package instructions. Drain.
While the orzo is cooking, cook the bacon in a large skillet until crispy. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels. Break into pieces. Set aside.
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Season generously with ground pepper, preferably freshly ground.
Cook the shrimp in the bacon fat for about 4 to 5 minutes until pink, flipping once.
Remove the shrimp from the pan, keeping as much fat in the skillet as possible. Drain shrimp on paper towels. Add the onions into the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the corn and stir well.
Add the orzo and mix well. Return the bacon and shrimp to the skillet. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Heat through and serve.
