Do you ever feel like you’re in a recipe rut and eating the same dishes all the time? Last week I was in one of those moods (read: tired of making the chicken all the time) and came across this wonderful recipe from Barefoot Contessa. Light and refreshing, this Mediterranean-inspired shrimp and orzo dish is packed with lots of fresh herbs and is a perfect way to mix up weeknight dinners.
My tips? Add in some extra lemon juice and make sure you use a high quality feta cheese–my favorite is Bulgarian, which has a creamier texture and is less salty than Greek feta. I also like to add in some ripe cherry tomatoes, but it would also be great if you added asparagus, olives, or other complementary flavors as desired!
