    I tried the blackened Tilapia with the Lemon Pepper Orzo at a concert where Chef McCargo was doing a demo. This dish is OFF THE CHAIN! Excellent flavor, and all around amazing! My entire EMS crew loved it and we plan to cook it at the station soon.

    Was fortunate enough to be at the Show Me Music & Arts Festival in Springfield, Mo when you made this Bro Aaron & even more fortunate to be offered the opportunity to taste it (I was the hefty fellow with the cane & straw cowbow hat that you invited up near the end. An exquisite dish. Excellent balance, but you've got to truly love big bold tastes. Not for the weak of palate. I WILL make this for my wife & I. Despite my handicaps, cooking is something I refuse to give up entirely. God bless you, my dear brother.

    A delicious week night alternative to a long cooking risotto. This was sone while the pork chops finished in the oven. I agree with the comments regarding the use of one lemon's juice. Any more and it would have been too lemony. I also used half and half instead of cream. Definitely a keeper and will be a tasty addition to Easter dinner.

    I've made this several times. It's always a winner with family and guests alike. Great with fish, beef & pork. I always substitute half & half for the heavy cream and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little 'heat'. Sometimes I add a teaspoon of granulated garlic for a different twist.

    Big Daddy delivers the big flavors again! The consistency of the dish was similar to a risotto but so much easier. Loved it.
