Greek Shrimp with Feta and Herbed Orzo

If you love shrimp, tomatoes, and feta cheese, there's nothing better than this simple Greek style shrimp dish! There are several versions, but this one is a favorite of mine. To complete your Sunday supper, you only need a beautiful Greek salad and crusty bread!
Serves 8

INGREDIENTS:
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 Tbsp olive oil
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
2 Tbsp white wine
½ tsp. dried oregano
½ tsp. dried basil
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
3 14.5 oz cans diced Italian style tomatoes
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 Tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

DIRECTIONS:
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan, swirling to coat. Add onion to pan and sauté until caramelized, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add wine, oregano, basil, pepper, and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir in shrimp. Sprinkle cheese evenly over mixture. Cover and cook a couple of minutes until shrimp are pink and cooked & cheese is melted. Sprinkle with parsley; serve immediately over herbed orzo pasta.

Orzo with Fresh Herbs: Cook 2 cups orzo pasta according to package directions. Drain; toss orzo with ¼ cup chopped fresh basil, 2 tblsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tblsp olive oil, ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper.
