The process is as easy as boiling the orzo, sauteing garlic, tomatoes and shrimp in olive oil, and then mixing everything together with lemon juice, fresh herbs and crumbled feta. The result is a fresh and healthy meal packed with savory, sweet, acidic and salty Mediterranean flavors.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Shrimp with Orzo and Feta<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Whole wheat orzo:<\/strong> Hot cooked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-orzo\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-orzo\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">orzo<\/a> forms the tender base of this dish. The small, rice-shaped pasta absorbs all the delicious pan drippings and lemon juice when tossed with the other ingredients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> Few things can match the savory aroma of garlic sizzling in olive oil. This recipe calls for two minced cloves, but garlic lovers can add an extra clove or two.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tomatoes:<\/strong> When sauteed, fresh chopped tomatoes soften and release their juices, helping to create a sweet and acidic pan sauce that coats the shrimp and orzo. You can chop plum tomatoes or use quartered cherry tomatoes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon juice:<\/strong> Fresh lemon juice adds bright citrus notes to the dish. One lemon should yield enough juice for this recipe, and you\u2019ll <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-juice-lemons-without-cutting-them\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-juice-lemons-without-cutting-them\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">get the most juice<\/a> from your fruit by firmly rolling it on your cutting board before squeezing it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shrimp:<\/strong> This recipe calls for small shrimp with a count of 26 to 30 per pound, but you can use medium or large shrimp if you prefer. Choose fresh or frozen peeled and deveined shrimp to keep this recipe quick and easy. If using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/how-to-cook-frozen-shrimp\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/how-to-cook-frozen-shrimp\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">frozen shrimp<\/a>, thaw them overnight in the fridge or submerge the package in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cilantro:<\/strong> Stir chopped cilantro into the dish just before serving for a pop of fresh-from-the-garden flavor. If you\u2019re not a fan or find that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-scientific-reason-why-cilantro-tastes-like-soap\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-scientific-reason-why-cilantro-tastes-like-soap\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cilantro tastes soapy<\/a>, you can substitute fresh parsley, dill or basil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feta:<\/strong> A block of feta packed in brine is softer and packs a more tangy, salty flavor than a tub of crumbled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/feta-cheese-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/feta-cheese-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">feta cheese<\/a>.

Reheat it on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth to prevent it from sticking to the pan, or heat it in the microwave until it&#8217;s warmed through.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze shrimp with orzo and feta?<\/h3>\n<p>The garlic, lemon, tomatoes and feta in this recipe taste best and brightest when enjoyed fresh. Freezing and thawing cooked seafood and pasta can result in undesirable texture changes, so we don\u2019t recommend freezing this dish.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make shrimp with feta and orzo ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Since shrimp are fast-cooking and easy to overcook, we recommend cooking them before serving for the best texture. This recipe comes together in under 30 minutes, but you can make it even speedier by cooking the orzo in advance. Store the cooked pasta in the fridge for up to three days and reheat it before combining it with the shrimp.<\/p>\n<h2>Shrimp with Orzo and Feta Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2122697\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Shrimp-with-Orzo-and-Feta-FT25_112106_JR_0226_6.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Shrimp With Orzo And Feta\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">JOSH RINK FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you use a different protein?<\/h3>\n<p>Sure! Try scallops or crabmeat instead of shrimp, or use a combination for a seafood feast. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are an excellent option for non-seafood eaters. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and pan-sear them until they reach an internal temperature of 165\u2109. For a vegetarian version, add a can of drained <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/our-favorite-cannellini-beans-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/our-favorite-cannellini-beans-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cannellini beans<\/a> or chickpeas to the garlic, lemon and tomato mixture.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you make this recipe gluten-free?<\/h3>\n<p>You can make gluten-free shrimp, orzo and feta by replacing the orzo with a certified gluten-free version made from brown rice, lentils or chickpeas. Or, instead of pasta, substitute a gluten-free whole grain like rice or quinoa.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with lemon shrimp and orzo?<\/h3>\n<p>Shrimp with feta and orzo is a complete meal, but there\u2019s always room for more vegetables!
