Preparation
Make the orzotto
In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the garlic and peas. Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the orzo, demi-glace and 2 ½ cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 9 to 10 min., until tender. Off the heat, add 3 tbsp butter, ¼ of the spices and S&P; stir well.
Cook the shrimp
Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry with paper towel (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with the remaining spices and S&P. In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the shrimp* and cook, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and reserve the pan.
Cook the vegetables
In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the tomatoes and ¼ cup water. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, gently crushing the tomatoes, 4 to 5 min., until beginning to burst. Add the spinach and cream. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until wilted; season with S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the orzotto between your bowls. Top with the vegetables and shrimp. Bon appétit!
