Shrimp Scampi with Orzo

Ok, here is a super fast yummy dinner. This would be great when you just get home from work, or just don't feel like standing in the kitchen very long. It's garlicky, buttery, lemony ( is that even a word?). LOL!!! It's good I promise! You can play with the amounts of the garlic. I guess you could leave out the lemon and hot pepper flakes completely if you wanted to. That is the joy of cooking!! NO RULES!! I like that! I'm a little rebellious I guess! So here ya go!
