Shrimp, Spinach, and Feta Orzo

January28

Shrimp, Spinach, and Feta Orzo

3/4 lb medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails off

8 oz sliced mushrooms

1 bag pre-washed fresh spinach

5 oz crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup favorite vinegrette

2 cloves garlic minced

8 oz orzo (a generous cup before cooked)

Cook orzo according to package directions.� If you are unfamiliar with orzo, it is a rice shaped pasta.

While orzo is cooking, saute mushrooms and shrimp in a drizzle of olive oil until shrimp is pink.� Throw in garlic, salad dressing, and spinach.� Stir over medium heat until spinach is wilted down.� Remove from heat.� Toss cooked orzo and feta into the pan.� Eat and be happy.

I used my own vinegrette for this:

1/2 cup grapeseed oil

1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar

2 cloves minced garlic

1 1/2 Tablespoon Dijon mustard

salt and pepper

Throw it all in food processor and then use 1/4 cup of finished dressing in the above recipe.� But it would work with any light flavored vinegar based salad dressing.
