Directions

Prep 10 minCook 20 min

1
Warm the coconut oil in a large deep skillet or pot over low to medium heat.
2
Add the chopped kale and minced garlic; sauté until the kale softens and the garlic is fragrant, about 2–3 minutes.
3
Stir in the chicken broth, fire-roasted diced tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, cracked black pepper, dried basil, dried oregano, and the orzo. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.
4
Simmer, stirring often so the orzo doesn’t stick, until the pasta is nearly tender, about 8–10 minutes.
5
Add the shrimp and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through and the orzo is al dente, 3–5 minutes more. If needed, add a splash of broth or water to loosen.
6
Remove from heat and finish with shredded Parmesan and fresh basil before serving.
