1. To make the orzo. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter, the corn, 2 tablespoons thyme, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook ⏱️ 5 minutes or until the corn is golden. Stir in the orzo and cook until toasted, about ⏱️ 2-3 minutes. Add the wine to the skillet and de-glaze the pan. Add the 2 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer ⏱️ 8-10 minutes until the orzo is al dente. Stir in the milk and parmesan, cook another few minutes until warmed through. 2. Meanwhile, make the shrimp. In a medium bowl, toss together the shrimp, cajun seasoning, and a large pinch of pepper. 3. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the sausage and brown all over, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Add the peppers and season with salt and pepper. Cook ⏱️ 5 minutes or until the peppers are soft and tender, remove the sausage and peppers from the skillet to a plate.4. Return the skillet to high heat and add the olive oil. Add the shrimp and sear on both sides until pink, about ⏱️ 2-3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons butter, the garlic, and 1 tablespoon thyme, toss to coat and cook until the garlic is fragrant and caramelized, about ⏱️ 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil, lemon juice, and reserved sausage and peppers.5. To serve, spoon the orzo onto plates, top with shrimp and peppers. Enjoy!
