So I came across this recipe and it turned out really good with a couple modifications of my own. Definitely an awesome meal for bulking season.

Shrimp and Barley Orzotto

8 oz Shrimp, uncooked w/ tail on
1 small onion diced small
1 red pepper diced small
1 c carrot diced small
1 c celery diced small
1 tbsp oil
3 tbsp butter
4 c chicken stock
1/2 c white cooking wine

  1. Put 1 tbsp oil, 2 tbsp butter and onion in a stock pot. Cook until onions soften (10 min or so).
  2. Add barley and get fully coated (1 min).
  3. Add the stock, white wine and half of the diced celery, carrots and peppers. Cook until it start to thicken on
    medium-low heat (about 20 min).
  4. Add the rest of the veggies and shrimp and stir often until most of the liquid evaporates.
  5. Stir with the last tbsp of butter.

This actually is a great prep and reheats very well plus putting the shrimp in so late prevents it from having an unpleasant texture when reheated. I usually triple this recipe and eat as my pre workout meal during the week and it I love it.

Definitely makes eating as much as I need to more enjoyable.

I just love shrimp. They are good at taste. If cooked raw their smell is horny. After I have this recipe which I made by your post really tastes good.
