I have been craving pasta and I wanted to use up some frozen shrimp so I found this recipe for Orzo with Shrimp and Tiny Peas. I LOVE peas and the lemon zest and juice in this recipe make it taste like summer. I am not a huge fan of tarragon though I wanted to make the recipe as is. The tarragon had a very mild flavor when chopped fine and next time I will add more.
The lemon flavor dominates, which is a good thing. The peas are crunchy and blend well with the mild shrimp and orzo.
I was able to put this together in about 30 minutes, including having to thaw the shrimp and peas. I think tomorrow it will taste even more flavorful as all the ingredients blend. It should make great leftovers, served either cold or hot.
