Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil , or as needed
- 2 shallot finely diced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp sugar
- ¼ tsp chili flakes
- 2 bay leaf
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 1/2 cups orzo pasta
- 2 tbsp white wine optional, or ouzo
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 ⅓ cups vegetable broth or stock
- 1 lb cherry tomatoes halved
- 14 oz Shrimp raw, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1 tbsp thyme fresh
- 1 tbsp dill chopped, fresh
- salt to serve, freshly ground
- black pepper to serve, freshly ground
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet or chef's pan. Add the diced shallots and cook over low heat, stirring, until softened.
- Add the minced garlic, salt, sugar, chilli flakes and bay leaves.
- Stir in the orzo so that it's covered in the oil and seasoning. Add the ouzo or white wine, if using, then stir in the tomato paste.
- Pour the stock and tomatoes into the pan and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes or until the orzo is al dente (check with the pack instructions).
- Stir in the shrimp and cook for a couple of minutes, until they turn pink.
- Top with the crumbled feta and garnish with fresh thyme and dill. Discard the bay leaves, have a taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. If you like, you brown the feta under the broiler for a couple of minutes before serving.
Notes
- SERVING SUGGESTIONS: This shrimp saganaki with orzo is a hearty meal all on its own. It pairs well with Greek bread and roasted zucchini.
- STORING AND FREEZING: Leftovers will keep for up to three days in the fridge. This recipe is not suitable for freezing.
