Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the large raw shrimp with the smoked paprika, chili powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and salt. Toss thoroughly and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, cook the seasoned shrimp for 3-4 minutes, until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the orzo and chicken or vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer and cover for about 10 minutes.
- Once orzo has absorbed most of the liquid, add in the cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, feta, lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil. Stir together gently.
- Lower heat to medium-low, stir until heated through, then return the cooked shrimp to warm up without overcooking. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Remove from heat, top with reserved feta and fresh basil, and serve warm.
