I copied this out of a cookbook but I don't remember which one. The author's note on the recipe says it is from Sofi's restaurant in Los Angeles.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups orzo pasta
salt
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 bunch fresh dill, leaves snipped off at stems
1/2 bunch fresh basil
2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb ripe plum tomato, peeled, cored and chopped

fresh ground black pepper

  • Preheat oven to 500°F.
  • While the tomato mixture is cooking, mince the oregano (or crush the dried with your fingers). Crumble feta into a small bowl. Add the oregano and toss with feta until blended.
  • Spread the orzo evenly in the buttered baking dish, top with the tomato shrimp mixture, then put the feta oregano on top.
  • Bake just until feta begins to melt, about 5 minutes.

This dish was a disappointment. The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was bland.
