1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
2

Heat oil in a large, deep ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until it starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt, and cook for 2 minutes.
3

Stir in orzo until it is coated and lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Add wine and cook for 1 minute, then stir in tomatoes and mushroom soup. Fill the tomato can with water and add it to the orzo mixture. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring often to prevent sticking, until the pasta starts to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; remove from the heat.
4

Top with 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese and arrange the shrimp in a single layer on top. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste, and crushed red pepper, and top with butter. Sprinkle with lemon juice; cover with foil.
5

Bake in the preheated oven until the orzo is tender and the shrimp is pink and opaque, 25 to 30 minutes.
6

Remove from the oven and stir until creamy. Stir in the remaining Parmesan, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
