🍋 1 lemon, zest and juice
🍾 1/2 cup white wine, Pinot Grigio
🥄 2 tablespoons olive oil, Colavita Extra Virgin
🧂 Salt and pepper
🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, McCormick

Instructions

1- Preparation:

• Start by prepping your seafood. Make sure the shrimp are peeled and deveined, and the mussels are cleaned thoroughly.
• Chop the shallot, mince the garlic, and prepare your other ingredients so they are ready to use.

2- Cook the Orzo:

• In a large pot over medium heat, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3- Sauté Aromatics:

• In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
• Stir in the red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

4- Cook the Seafood:

• Add the cleaned mussels to the pan, pour in the white wine, and cover. Allow the mussels to steam for 5-7 minutes until they open. Discard any that do not open.
• Add the shrimp to the pan, cooking until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes.

5- Combine and Serve:

• Stir in the cooked orzo, diced tomatoes, lemon zest, and juice. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cook for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined. Toss in fresh parsley before serving.
