Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the orzo according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water, set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium. Add shallot and cook for about 2 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and turmeric and cook for 1 minute more.
Stir in peas and cook 2–3 minutes. Add the coconut milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, ½ teaspoon salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the cooked orzo and toss to coat. Stir in fresh herbs and adjust salt or lemon to taste.
Plate warm and finish with a sprinkle of dairy-free parmesan, extra herbs, or toasted pine nuts if desired.
