    I am obsessed with one-pot, quick and easy dishes this season. They save time and effort, plus leave less clean up behind. Today, I suggest you give this One Pot Orzo with Shrimp and Feta a try. The combination of shrimps, pasta, butter, feta cheese and lemon is truly delicious. Check it for yourself.

    I cook orzo with feta and butter pretty often, since my husband likes it for breakfast. He is Bulgarian, and he taught me this delicious way to enjoy pasta and noodles. This time around, I decided to turn it into a filling dinner, by adding shrimp, lemon, and extra love. 🙂

    HOW TO MAKE ORZO AND SHRIMP

    1.  Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside. Meanwhile, pat the shrimps dry with paper towel, and mix them with Old Bay Seasoning.

    Please, try to find some good quality feta, as it makes a world of difference in this recipe. I recommend buying feta that is sold in bricks and still in brine. Here is an Amazon link to buy Feta Cheese I use, or you can find good feta in large health food stores and supermarkets. Enjoy your dinner, friends!
