Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and return to pot, covering to keep warm.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove shrimp and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to brown the garlic.
- Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, chicken broth, and white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, stirring well. Let it simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add drained orzo and spinach to the skillet, stirring until the spinach wilts down, about 1-2 minutes.
- Return shrimp to the skillet, toss gently to combine, and heat through for about a minute. Add more broth if needed for creaminess.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of chicken broth to restore creaminess.
