1
Heat the organic unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2
Add in the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet and cook them for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown. Sprinkle half of salt and black pepper over the cooked shrimp, then transfer them to a plate.
3
Slice the lemon and add the slices into the skillet, searing them until golden on each side, about 1 minute. Remove and keep aside.
4
Pour the remaining olive oil into the pan, and reduce the heat to medium. Add in the minced garlic and finely chopped shallots, let them simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and aromatic.
5
Stir in the dry orzo to coat it with the oil, and let it cook for an extra 1 minute.
6
Pour in the low sodium chicken broth and bring the mixture to boil; reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for 10-12 minutes until the orzo is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.
7
Mix in fresh baby spinach and the remaining salt and black pepper. Stir frequently for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
8
Return the cooked shrimp back to the pan. Squeeze in the juice of the lemon, and stir well. Garnish with seared lemon slices before serving.
