Steps
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 °C) (180 degrees C (350 °F)).
Heat olive oil in a large, deep ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chopped onion and cook until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
Add minced garlic, sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon of the kosher salt, and cook for 2 minutes.
Stir in the orzo pasta until coated and lightly toasted, about 1 minute.
Add white wine and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and condensed cream of mushroom soup.
Fill the empty tomato can with water and add it to the orzo mixture.
Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring often to prevent sticking, until the pasta begins to soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and remove the skillet from the heat.
Top the mixture with 2/3 cup of the Parmesan cheese and arrange the shrimp in a single layer on top.
Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, extra black pepper to taste, and the crushed red pepper.
Top with the butter pieces and sprinkle with the lemon juice.
Cover the skillet tightly with foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until the orzo is tender and the shrimp are pink and opaque, 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and stir the mixture until creamy.
Stir in the remaining Parmesan cheese, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve.
Notes
Using the empty tomato can to measure the water ensures you get all the remaining tomato juices into the dish. Ensure the shrimp are at least partially thawed to ensure they cook through within the oven time.
