SHRIMP WITH ORZO PASTA

Steps:

• Shrimp (shellfish) stock
• To prepare the shrimp stock, in a pan pour 700ml water and add the shrimp heads and shells. Boil over medium heat for 20 minutes. Strain the stock and set it aside.
• Shrimp with orzo
• Finely slice the onion and sauté it over a hot pan for 2-3 minutes. Continue by adding the tomato paste and cook for a further 1 minute. Add the chopped (or canned) tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the shell fish stock in the tomato sauce, stir and add the orzo. Make sure there is enough shell fish stock to cover the orzo so that it can cook properly. Cook the orzo for 10 minutes.
• Finally add the prepared shrimp with the herbs and cook for a further 5-7 minutes. At this point, the orzo would have absorbed all the delicious shellfish stock.
• Shrimp with pasta
• Sauté the finely sliced onion for 2-3 minutes. Carry on by sautéing the garlic for a few seconds. Continue by adding the tomato paste and let it cook for 2-3 minutes. At this point add the chopped or canned tomatoes and season. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Continue by adding the shell fish stock to the tomato sauce. Stir and add the pasta. Cook the pasta for 10 minutes. Make sure there is enough shell fish stock for the pasta. If not, simply add a bit more water.
• Add the prepared shrimps with herbs and cook for a further 5 minutes. The pasta should now have absorbed all the delicious juices from the shellfish stock and the tomato sauce.
