Shrimp with Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Orzo

Shrimp with Sun Dried Tomato Orzo

Need to fancy up your dinner rotations? I’ve got you covered with this creamy shrimp dish. This is a delicious and rich dinner in a wonderful sauce. The sun-dried tomatoes add awesome flavor as well as the addition of heavy cream. I used shrimp but you could use chicken if you prefer! I like to buy my shrimp at Costco, it is always delicious. If you want to use less cream, you could probably reduce it and a bit and it will still be wonderful. You may also love Summer Orzo Salad!
