Opinions
Katie: This dish was very good. It had a very strong lemon flavor, so if you don't like a lot of that, I would reduce those numbers and maybe also play with the other ingredients.
Potter: This was a pretty tasty dish. I had never had orzo before and didn't know what to expect but it's pretty much just bigger grained rice. I would say I prefer a higher ratio of shrimp to orzo so I will up the amount of shrimp I cook next time. In addition to that, our mint wasn't good so we didn't use it which I think would play well with the lemon flavors Katie mentioned above. Don't used precooked shrimp either, it makes it way harder to cook it correctly.
