Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Butter a 13X9 dish.
  3. Have stock heating in a sauce pan on medium heat.
  4. Spread the thinly sliced tomato on several paper towels, then lay several other paper towels on top and press lightly. Hold off to the side for later.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat (you may want to use the same skillet you are going to put the orzo in) saute the green peppers and onion for 5 minutes (get them soft, but do not brown them.)Add the chopped garlic for the last minute of cooking. Reserve the mixture off to the side.
  6. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet on medium high heat. Add the uncooked orzo , stirring often for about 3 minutes. Add the hot stock one cup at a time, stirring constantly until each cup is absorbed. This will take 10 to 11 minutes.
  7. Turn the heat down to medium. Add the black pepper and basil.
  8. Stir in crumbled feta; let it start to melt (smash larger pieces with wooden spoon.) Add cream and stir all together for about two minutes.
  9. Spread 2 cups of the orzo mixture in the bottom of your buttered dish.
  10. Lay half of your tomato slices in a single layer over the orzo mixture.
  11. Lay half of the shrimp in a single layer over the tomato slices.
  12. Spoon 2 cups of the orzo mixture over the shrimp.
  13. Spoon the green pepper/onion mixture over the layer of orzo.
  14. Lay the rest of the shrimp over the green pepper/onion mixture.
  15. Spoon the last 2 cups of the orzo over the shrimp.
  16. With the second half of your tomato slices put a single layer over the orzo.
  17. Place the uncovered dish in the preheated oven.
  18. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
  19. After the twenty five minutes, sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the top of the tomatoes and place back in the oven for another five minutes.
