Jennifer Garner's Shrimp and Orzo Recipe
Jennifer Garner's Shrimp and Orzo Recipe-May 2024
May 31, 2025 4:32 AM

  No time to make a healthy dinner? "I love to cook for myself," says Jennifer Garner, the costar of Fox's Time of Your Life television series. "It's my stay-healthy secret. Making a simple dinner actually calms me down after a harried day. Often I'll spend Sunday nights cooking and then use the leftovers for lunch that week. Right now, I'm really into cooking with orzo. It's a light, rice-shaped pasta that fills me up. I especially love this recipe because the orzo goes well with the shrimp and veggies and it's quick and easy to make."

  1 cup dry orzo

  2 tsp olive oil

  1 cup chopped onion

  3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

  1/4 cup white wine
