Spicy, Creamy Pasta For Two
- 3/4 cup uncooked orzo
- 1/2 cup onion, cut in half & thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon basil flakes
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

- 1/2 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced (I used crimini & shiitake)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 16 frozen cooked shrimp, medium
- 1/4 cup brie cheese
- 1 tablespoon harissa
- Heat up medium tall-sided skillet up med-high heat. Combine mushroom, onion, garlic, red-pepper flakes, basil, oil, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and frozen shrimp. Heat until soft and starting to brown, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add lemon juice, let evaporate for about a minute.
