Greek Shrimp with Orzo

Tonight we decided that after the holiday weekend of eating hamburgers and hot dogs we'd get back on track! However, I must admit Chicken, Shrimp and Fish don't sound near as good!  I could really go for a big slice of pizza!  But instead we tried this recipe and have rated it with FOUR STARS! Even though we rated it high, it's not something I would want to eat on a weekly basis but it is a good change of pace.

Ingredients
2 cups of Orzo
2 tsp olive oil
1 green bell pepper, chopped {I don't like green peppers so I substituted sugar snap peas}
1/2 c chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 28 once of diced tomatoes {i used 1 14oz can of diced tomatoes w/ green chilies}
1tsp of dried oregano
1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 c chopped fresh basil
2 tbsp of crumbled feta cheese

Cook the orzo according to package directions.

Meanwhile, cook the peppers, onion and garlic in olive oil until tender.  Add tomatoes, spices and shrimp, saute approx 5-10 mins.  Sprinkle with cheese before serving.

This makes 6 servings with points value of 6 per serving.
