We really enjoyed this super simple dish. I, too, added some purple onion to it, and bumped the orzo amount up to a full cup. The flavors were great for such few ingredients. A little bit more tomato than we would have liked but that's all.*** I am coming back to update my review, and giving it the last star for the full 5. Made it again tonight and used a bit more parsley than it called for, more zest, and about a 1 large clove of garlic minced up real fine. I also served it with garlic bread and together they were FABULOUS! I would take a bite of bread and a bite of the meal together and it reminded me a lot of a hot and crusty shrimp sandwich I really like but that is a lot of work to prepare.

super simple, delicious and low fat? perfect! I used low fat feta and added a bit of garlic and onion in the tomatoes as they simmered. otherwise, followed recipe exactly

This was so fast and easy! Prepped everything ahead so it took about 6 minutes to throw together. I did add more zest, and about a 1 large clove of garlic but otherwise followed to a T. As for the previous review not liking citrus with shrimp- leave the citrus out. I loved it as is! Thanks for sharing a healthy, fast and low fat/calorie meal!

I didn't like this. I just didn't like the combination of citrus, feta and shrimp.

This dish is very delicious. My DH and I enjoyed very much. I increased orzo to 1 cup and used a can of petite diced tomatoes. After tasting before serving, I added a small squeeze of lemon juice to add to the flavor. This was a great finishing touch as I love lemon. Also added just about a teaspoon of olive oil just before serving as it seemed a little dry. Very good and will definitely be making again!
