Shrimp Orzo

Delicious – this is a recipe Grambea found (I think) but we have been making it ever since so now it’s hers.

Ingredients

1 bag uncooked shrimp (26-30 ct)
1 box orzo
large bag baby spinach
1 container cherry tomatoes
1 container feta cheese
1 can sliced black olives
seafood marinade (I usually use a cilantro lime that I make myself but any bottled will do.
Uncle Tony’s if you like a little kick
1-2 T EVOO

Preheat oven to 350
Thaw( if using frozen) and peel your shrimp and set in marinade for at least 15-20 minutes
Half your cherry tomatoes and place evenly in a roasting pan then drizzle with EVOO
Place tomatoes into the oven to soften the tomatoes (@15 minutes)
Boil water and place the box of orzo in to cook (8 minutes until just tender)
As soon as you take the tomoatoes out of the oven, toss the spinach with them to wilt it.
When the orzo is done drain in (but don’t rinse) then pour over the spinach and tomato mixture, folding all ingredients together.
Sprinkle the feta over the top of this mixture
Drain the olives and distribute evenly over the top of the feta.
Place your marinated shrimp evenly over the olives – Pour any extra marinade on top of the shrimp
Place this, uncovered, in the oven for 15-20 minutes more until the shrimp is just cooked.
Serve immediately – YUM
