A delightful Mediterranean-inspired dish combining shrimp, orzo, and feta cheese for a flavorful and satisfying meal.
Cook the orzo in a pot of boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Adding a pinch of salt to the boiling water enhances the flavor of the orzo.
In a skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and cook until they soften and release their juices.
Use a wooden spoon to gently press the tomatoes to release more juices.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and are fully cooked.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
Stir in the parsley, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Fresh parsley adds a burst of flavor and color to the dish.
Divide the cooked orzo into serving bowls. Spoon the shrimp and tomato mixture over the orzo.
Ensure each serving has a generous amount of shrimp and sauce.
Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over each serving and serve immediately.
Serve with a lemon wedge for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
