Instructions

In a large serving bowl add the marinated artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, and 2 tablespoons olive oil, mix until combined.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the orzo and cook according to "al dente" directions (about 9 minutes). When the orzo is cook reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water and add in to the bowl of artichokes and other ingredients.
Drain the Orzo and add it to the serving bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Gently toss to combine. Cover with a lid and let marinate until the shrimp are cooked.
Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons olive oil and garlic. Add the shrimp one at a time (without overcrowding the pan or they will boil). You may cook them in two batches
Cook the shrimp on high heat for about 3 minutes on each side. This gets a nice sear on the shrimp. Depending on shrimp size you may need a little more or a little less time. Make sure they are cooked all the way through and have a pink color.
Add the shrimp and garlic to the top of the prepared pasta.
Sprinkle with extra basil and serve!

Notes

Serve warm or cold! Excellent as leftovers
