Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, white miso, lemon juice, and hot honey with a spoon. Stir until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Sprinkle shrimp with black pepper and garlic powder.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Add the chopped parsley and stir to combine. Finally, add back the cooked shrimp and stir to combine.

Step 9

Serve immediately with additional lemon juice, a drizzle of finishing olive oil, and flakey salt as desired.
