Orzo with Shrimp and Sage

1 cup orzo, uncooked
2 cloves garlic
3 green onion, diced
2 oz. jar diced pimiento
1/2 lb. medium cooked shrimp
1/4 cup chopped fresh sage leaves
shredded parmesan cheese

Cook orzo in boiling water for 8 minutes; drain and set aside.
Spray a skillet with cooking spray and saute garlic just until
soft.  Add green onion and pimiento and continue saute'ing just
until onion is transparent.  Add shrimp and saute a little longer
until shrimp are heated through.  Add orzo and sage leaves; stir
to distribute sage leaves evenly through the orzo and continue to
cook until sage is slightly limp.

Serve with shredded parmesan cheese.

(Note:  You should not need to add oil to the skillet to saute as
there is usually enough liquid on the pimiento to add the needed
moisture.  If you have fresh pimiento, you may need to add a teaspoon
of oil or a little more cooking spray to keep the onion and pimiento
from sticking)
