Instructions
Prepare orzo according to package directions.
Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel. In a medium bowl, season the shrimp with salt and pepper.
In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute or until its lightly browned. Make sure not to burn garlic.
Add shrimp and remaining olive oil to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes or until the shrimp are opaque. Remove from heat.
Stir in the dry wine and lemon juice.
Serve over a bed of the orzo, and garnish with parsley.
Be careful not to over cook shrimp. It is ready when the shrimp turn opaque. Shrimp will continue to cook in the oil until it has been removed.

Marinating Fish with Wine
It’s no wonder why wine is such a popular marinade for fish dishes. Using a quality wine in your fish recipe can take it to the next level. But what wines are best for marinating? Well, this depends on the kind of fish you’re preparing.
White fish: When marinating white fish, it’s best to opt for a dry white wine.
Red and deep sea fish: Although with meatier fish, you might be tempted to marinate with a nice red wine, it’s better to opt for something lighter like a dry white wine or a rosé.
