Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425°F. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Lightly coat a 2-quart baking dish with oil.
- Heat 2 Tbs. oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the shrimp, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoons each salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the shrimp start to lose their raw color (but don't cook through), about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Stir in the spinach and cook, tossing, until it starts to wilt, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain well and toss with the shrimp mixture, feta, 2 Tbs. oil, half the thyme, and lemon zest. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, toss the breadcrumbs with the remaining Tbs. oil, the remaining teaspoons thyme, and 1/4 teaspoons salt. Sprinkle on top of the pasta.
- Bake the pasta until the breadcrumbs brown and the pasta heats through, about 20 minutes (cover with foil if the top browns too quickly). Let cool for a couple of minutes and then serve. Great with a side salad.

ORZO WITH SHRIMP, FETA CHEESE, AND WHITE WINE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush 11x7-inch glass baking dish with oil. Cook orzo according to package directions. Drain well and return orzo to same pot. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons basil; stir to blend. Arrange orzo mixture in prepared dish.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and sauté until slightly pink, about 2 minutes (shrimp will not be cooked through). Arrange shrimp atop orzo. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to same skillet. Add garlic and sauté over medium-high heat 30 seconds. Add tomatoes with juice; cook 1 minute. Stir in wine, oregano, crushed red pepper, and remaining 1/4 cup basil. Simmer uncovered until reduced to thick sauce consistency, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper; spoon over shrimp. Bake orzo until heated through, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup feta cheese and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh shrimp, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful feta cheese will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to watch it carefully to avoid overcooking. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
- Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after cooking, while the shrimp is still hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
This one-pot orzo with shrimp, tomato, and feta is a quick and easy meal that's perfect for busy weeknights. It's also a delicious and healthy dish that's sure to please everyone at your table.
