    1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1/2 cup dry white cooking wine

    While sauce and shrimp are cooking, cook orzo until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain orzo. Return orzo to pot and toss with remaining tbs oil. Stir in sauce with shrimp and reserved cooking water, then add olives and salt and pepper, to taste.
