Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add shallots, and cook until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, and stir until fragrant, about 45 seconds.
  3. 3 Add in orzo; cook and stir until orzo is lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Stir in tomato paste and Cantanzaro herbs; season with salt and pepper.
  4. 4 Pour in 3 cups vegetable broth and whipping cream. Stir remaining 1 cup broth into Greek yogurt; pour into the Dutch oven. Stir in sundried tomatoes.
  5. 5 Cook orzo, uncovered, stirring constantly, over medium heat until orzo is just tender with a bite, 15 to 20 minutes.
  6. 6 Stir shrimp and fresh spinach into cooked orzo, and cook until shrimp is pink and opaque and spinach is wilted, about 4 minutes. Taste; season with salt and pepper.
  7. 7 Remove from heat; serve immediately with fresh basil. Enjoy!
