1 cup of uncooked orzo (in your pasta aisle – looks like rice)
2 tablespoons of olive oil, divided
¾ teaspoon of salt, divided
¼ teaspoon of black pepper, divided
1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup of onion (we used white but any will do)
1 tablespoon of minced garlic (we actually used two large cloves which was equal to almost 2 tablespoons – use what your family enjoys)
¼ teaspoon of crushed red pepper
1½ cups of cherry tomatoes, sliced in half (original recipe called for 2 cups but we only pulled 1½ cups from the garden – you can use 2 if you’d like)
⅓ cup of grated fresh asiago romano cheese (it’s what we had, if you don’t have this – just use regular romano)
