Basil Shrimp with Feta and Orzo

This distinctly Mediterranean dish is as elegant as it is tasty, and simple to prepare. Part of the trick here is to use very fine quality shrimp. For those of you who haven't yet tried orzo, it's a pasta that looks something like rice - small grained and excellent as a side dish. In this case, orzo works as a neutral vehicle for an excellent combination of robustly flavored ingredients, including basil, shrimp, lemon, onion, and feta cheese.
