Orzo with shrimp and string beans

Creamy orzo, crispy string beans and shrimp. A wonderfully easy meal that is prepared in just 20 minutes

Is Orzo rice or pasta? Basically, orzo is a pasta formed as rice. The Italians often use it in soups, the Greeks in a pilav and it is also used in stews in the Arabic kitchen. Here in the Netherlands it is not really known yet, but that can of course change soon. Let me give you this delicious recipe to try Orzo yourself.

 

It's a good taste!
