Shrimp and Feta with Orzo Casserole

 I thought since I just posted the B1G1 FREE Feta coupons and Target has the $1/1 Seafood Coupon  I would share this recipe. I made this the other day and husband said it was the best pasta dish he ever had! Try it for yourself. If you have little ones like I do I just keep some plain Orzo on the side with Shrimp chopped up in Shrimp Bites since the kids are kinda of picky.
