How to Make Orzo With Shrimp Feta Cheese And White Wine

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly brush an 11x7 inch baking dish with olive oil.
  3. Cook 1 cup orzo pasta according to package directions. Drain well and return to the pot.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil to the cooked orzo. Stir until well combined.
  5. Spread the orzo mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Add 1 pound shrimp and sauté until pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
  8. Add 2 more tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  9. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, to the skillet.
  10. Cook for 1 minute.
  11. Stir in 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, and the remaining 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil.
  12. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  13. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  14. Spoon the sauce evenly over the shrimp.
  15. Arrange the shrimp on top of the orzo in the baking dish.
  16. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the orzo is heated through and bubbly.
  17. Sprinkle with the remaining 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese and a handful of toasted pine nuts (optional).
  18. Serve immediately and enjoy!
