I am in love with this One Pan Miso Butter Shrimp Scampi Orzo.
In February 2022, I created an Orzo Recipe Series on TikTok where I created 8 new orzo recipes during the month of February. It was definitely a fan favorite! In honor of the 1 year anniversary of this series, I am creating a February Orzo Series Part 2!
This Miso Butter Shrimp Scampi Orzo is the second recipe in my new series. I love combining flavors from different countries to create a fun new take on classic dishes. The white miso paired so nicely with the Italian flavors of garlic, white wine, lemon, and parsley. You will be tempted to eat this entire pan all by yourself!
As part of my Orzo Series, I partnered with Graza to do a giveaway on Instagram. Make sure to check out that post and enter the giveaway to win free Graza olive oil! It’s absolutely delicious. You can also use my code “CAROLBEECOOKS” to save $5 on the “Drizzle” and “Sizzle” variety pack. The “Drizzle” was AMAZING on this dish!

One Pan Miso Butter Shrimp Scampi Orzo
Ingredients
Miso Butter
- 4 tbsp Butter softened
- 2 tbsp White Miso room temperature
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp Hot Honey or regular honey
Shrimp
- 1 lb Shrimp raw/peeled/deveiend
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Orzo
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes more or less to taste
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 cup Orzo uncooked
- 1/2 cup White Wine dry
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice additional to serve
- 2 cups Water more as needed
- 1/3 cup Fresh Parsley chopped
- Graza "Drizzle" Finishing Oil optional but recommended to serve
- Flaky Salt optionally add a few flakes of flakey salt to serve
Instructions
Miso Butter
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, white miso, lemon juice, and hot honey with a spoon. Stir until well combined. Set aside.
Shrimp
- Sprinkle shrimp with black pepper and garlic powder.
- Heat a large high-rimmed sauté pan over medium heat. Melt 1 tbsp of the miso butter. Add the shrimp in an even layer. Cook for 3 minutes then flip. Cook for another 2 minutes. Set aside to a plate. Tent with foil to keep warm.
Orzo
- In the same pan, melt another 1 tbsp of the miso butter. Add the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute stirring constantly. Add the uncooked orzo and toast for another minute.
- Pour in the white wine and lemon juice to deglaze the pan. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release any stuck bits. Cook for a couple minutes to cook off most of the liquid.
- Pour in the water and stir. Bring to a boil then lower to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the orzo is cooked through and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir often so the orzo doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Add more water as needed if the water is absorbing before the orzo is cooked through.
- Once the orzo is cooked, turn off the heat. Add the remaining 2 tbsp of miso butter and stir to combine. The butter should melt right into the orzo.
- Add the chopped parsley and stir to combine. Finally, add back the cooked shrimp and stir to combine.
- Serve immediately with additional lemon juice, a drizzle of finishing olive oil, and flakey salt as desired.
