    💡 Tips for One-Pot Lemon Garlic Shrimp Orzo

    • • Let meat rest for 5 minutes after cooking to keep it juicy.
    • • Don't let garlic burn — add it after other aromatics and cook briefly.
    • • Save a cup of pasta water — the starch helps bind sauces.
    • • Pound chicken to even thickness for uniform cooking.
