Guest blog and recipe by Emily Hill @​​wonderwhyimfat.

If you're on the hunt for a flavorful meal that not only satisfies your taste buds but also supports your gut health, look no further! My Marry Me Shrimp with Orzo recipe is a mouthwatering dish that's sure to impress, while also offering a variety of probiotic benefits.

My version takes juicy shrimp, savory orzo, and an irresistible creamy tomato sauce, infusing it with gut-friendly ingredients. This dish is comforting yet sophisticated, making it perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion, like upcoming Valentine’s Day!

Spinach is a fiber-rich green that feeds good gut bacteria, acting as a prebiotic. It’s also high in vitamins like A and C, which are essential for immune health.

Tomatoes are rich in fiber and antioxidants, and when sundried, they become even more concentrated in nutrients. The fiber acts as a prebiotic, nourishing the beneficial bacteria in your digestive system.

Orzo may not have probiotic properties on its own, but it's a wonderful vessel for absorbing all the probiotic goodness of the sauce. Choose a whole wheat or gluten-free orzo for additional fiber.

Not only will this recipe make your taste buds fall in love, but your gut will thank you too! Let’s get cooking!
