Shrimp w/Feta cheese on Orzo

Postby OSD » Tue Sep 18, 2007 3:29 pm

We make this with a Greek salad ( without the potato salad ) and a good crusty garlic bread :D

Shrimp and Feta Cheese


1 tbl Olive oil
1 clove gralic - minced
2 med tomatoes - diced
1 tbl tomatoe paste
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 tsp crushed oregano
2 bay leaves
crushed red pepper to taste
1/2-2/3 lb large raw shrimp
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/2 cup crumpled Feta Cheese



1 Heat oil in a large skillet-add garlic & tomatoes and saute over med-high heat until tender ( about 5 min )
2 Add tomato paste, wine, oregano, bay leaves, and red pepper. Bring to a boil - then reduce heat to med-high and cook until slightly thickened. ( about 2 min )
3 Add shrimp, just lay on top, don't stir in. Reduce heat to low, cover pan and cook til shrimp are done. ( about 10 min )
4 Remove from heat, discard bay leaves and season with white pepper. Sprinkle Feta cheese on top and recover pan and let cheese melt from heat of the sauce.


Cooking Tips
Recipe can be doubled, but only add one extra bay leaf.
Serve over cooked Orzo
Could serve over rice instead of Orzo

Seasoned Cooked Orzo

3/4 cup Orzo
2 tsp olive oil
1 tbl minced parsley
1 1/2 tsp grated lemon peel
Salt - to taste
White pepper to taste



1 Stir Orzo into med pan filled with boiling water
2 Cook until tender and drain well ---- DO NOT OVER COOK --------- will turn to mush
3 return to pan and stir in oil, parsley, and lemon peel. Season to taste with salt and white pepper.

The Mrs won't touch shrimp so I'll have to pass on this one, but it sounds good :D
