In large pan heat 1 tbsp of oil and cook shrimp heads and shells for 3 min. Add 1,5 lt of hot water and boil for 20 min. Drain and reserve the stock.
Step 2
Preheat oven at 200C/fan. In a large and shallow pan add onion and stir until its liquid evaporates. Then add remaining oil and garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in orzo for 30 sec. and pour in wine. When alcohol evaporates stir in tomato, season with salt and pepper and boil on medium heat for 2 min. Add broccoli florets and 2 cups of stock, stirring at times until it evaporates. Then add another cup of stock and allow it to evaporate.
