Instructions

Towel dry the shrimp. Sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, toss, and set aside.
In a large oven-proof pan, heat 2 TB olive oil over medium high heat. Add onion, garlic, basil, oregano, and stir about 3 minutes. Stir in orzo and continue stirring about 1 minute.
Stir in chicken broth and 1/4 cup reserved tomato juice. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to simmer. Simmer just until pasta is under al dente, about 7 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, broccoli, and lemon juice. Stir in shrimp. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir again and simmer 1 minute longer if needed, just until shrimp turns opaque.
Serve immediately with fresh parmesan.
