Greek Shrimp with Zucchini, Orzo and Feta

This greek shrimp is not only flavorful, it’s extremely easy to prepare.  It’s a tasty and satisfying dinner for a busy weeknight, but it’s such a pretty dish that you could prepare it for guests and it would appear as if you’d been cooking for hours.

While the shrimp and the zucchini were grilling,  I quickly made the orzo.  After the main ingredients were cooked, I blended the shrimp, zucchini and the orzo together and finally stirred in a hearty sprinkling of the feta cheese.  The lovely feta cheese melted quickly into the warm orzo and made the dish extra creamy.
