Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Sea or Himalayan pink salt, to taste
- Simply Organic® Black Pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 1 tablespoon Simply Organic® Parsley
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
- Pat shrimp dry using a paper towel, and season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté shrimp for about 2 minutes per side, until cooked through. Remove shrimp from pan and set aside.
- Add orzo to skillet, then add garlic powder, onion powder, and crushed red pepper. Stir well and let pasta toast for 1 minute.
