Instructions
Step 1
To a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of the oil. When it’s hot and shimmering, add the shrimp, both bell peppers, and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp is light pink and the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Step 2
To a small skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of the oil. When it’s hot and shimmering, add the squid and cook, stirring occasionally, just until curled, 2–3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the squid and the wine to the skillet with the shrimp, turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently and scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid is reduced by about one third, 4–5 minutes. Add the tomato purée, the remaining ¾ cup of oil, parsley, and oregano, then season to taste with cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Turn the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced and darkened slightly, about 15 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the orzo, cover, and simmer, uncovering the skillet and stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, until the pasta is cooked, about 15 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
