One Pot Lemon Orzo Shrimp
Saturday, August 08, 2015Have you heard of the blog Damn Delicious? No? Well you need to check it out, go here. I love all of her recipes and look at it often for dinner ideas. I've loved every one of the recipes I've tried from her site, this one included. At first glance I thought shrimp, tomatoes and peas sounded like an odd combo...I was wrong! This is delicious! Give it a shot!
