This was INCREDIBLY easy as well as delicious. A lot of flavor for such a quick meal. I recommend adding some roasted tomatoes and/or kalamata olives to this for some extra oomph.
From Cooking Light, with additions
Ingredients:
~2 tsp olive oil
~1/2 tsp dried oregano
~3 large garlic cloves, minced
~1/4 cup dry white wine (my go-to cooking white is a pinot grigio)
~2 and 1/2 cups chicken stock
~1/2 cup uncooked orzo pasta
~2 cups marinara sauce (we used one with tomato and basil chunks)
~12 oz. large peeled shrimp, peeled and deveined (for an extra time-saver, use pre-cooked shrimp)
~2 tbs chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
~1 oz feta cheese, crumbled
~1 pint grape tomatoes (optional but recommended)
~1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved (optional but recommended)
1. If roasting tomatoes, preheat oven to 400. Toss tomatoes in salt, pepper, and olive oil and spread out on baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes or until tomatoes start to shrivel.
2. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add oil and coat pan. Add oregano and garlic; saute 30 seconds. Add wine and cook 1 minute.
3. Add stock to pot and bring to a boil. Stir in orzo and cook for 6 minutes or until al dente.
4. Stir in marinara and shrimp, cook 4 minutes or until shrimp are pink.
5. Stir in tomatoes and olives.
6. Serve in bowls and top with parsley and feta.
