Orzo with Feta, Basil and Shrimp
8 ingredients
openrecipes
In Mediterranean cuisine, feta cheese is often paired with shrimp, the creamy, salty flavors marrying lusciously. Here, crumbled feta is added at the end of the cooking so it soaks up the warm juices from the sautéed shrimp. Instead of feta, you can try ricotta salata or a soft goat cheese. This dish makes a satisfying light meal or summer salad.
