Method

10 steps · 45 min

01
Prep Oven and Shrimp
Set your oven to preheat to 400 degrees F. Season the shrimp generously with salt and pepper, then pop them in the fridge until you're ready to add them to the dish. Lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.
02
Heat the Oil
In a large Dutch oven, heat the 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until it's just shimmering.
03
Sauté Onion and Fennel
Add the chopped onion, sliced fennel bulb, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the hot oil. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften and start to pick up some color around the edges, which should take about 10 minutes.
04
Add Garlic and Pepper Flakes
Stir in the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until you can really smell the garlic.
05
Toast the Orzo
Tip the orzo into the Dutch oven with the vegetables. Stir well to coat each grain with the oil, then continue cooking for about 4 minutes, stirring fairly constantly, until the orzo smells nutty and toasted.
06
Deglaze with Wine
Pour in the wine and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute, until the liquid has completely evaporated.
07
Simmer Orzo, Add Shrimp
Add the chicken broth, water, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a lively simmer. Cook for about 12 minutes, stirring fairly constantly to prevent the orzo from sticking to the bottom of the pot, until the orzo is almost completely tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the shrimp, canned tomatoes, oregano, and 1 tablespoon of the fresh parsley.
08
Transfer and Top with Feta
Spoon the orzo and shrimp mixture into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top.
09
Bake and Finish
Bake for about 20 minutes, until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through, and the feta on top is lightly browned. Just before serving, sprinkle with the remaining parsley and any reserved fennel fronds.
10
Serve with Lemon
Serve the orzo hot, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over each portion.
