I used asparagus instead of green beans. The orzo was a bit bland but mixed well with the shrimp meal... I know this would defeat the purpose of a health side but I feel butter would be better than oil...
A perfect side dish that's easy to prepare and - seemingly - more "elegant" than other traditional sides. I made this tasty dish to serve along side pork chops marinated in Italian dressing (overnight). Easy and delicious!
Great recipe, and very easy to do. Passing this on to all my friends.
