  • 1 (28 oz.) can diced tomatoes

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 1 cup uncooked orzo

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F.

  2. Heat oil in a large 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the hot oil sizzles, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic and sauté until tender and fragrant, about 4-6 minutes.

  3. Pour in diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Turn the heat down to medium and stir well to mix. Bring the mixture to a simmer, about 4-5 minutes.

  4. Stir in orzo and season with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Arrange shrimp evenly over orzo and sprinkle feta cheese on top.

  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the shrimp turn opaque. Orzo should double in size when it is cooked. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with lemon juice, fresh basil, and additional feta, if desired, and serve.
