#SundaySupper Land O Lakes ® #SauteExpress Weekday Meals that Sizzle...Featuring Tomato-Basil Shrimp with Orzo and Feta

This week, #SundaySupper is spotlighting Weekday Meals that Sizzle using a fantastic new product from Land O Lakes ®: Sauté Express® Sauté Starter. This product is a lifesaver for busy cooks! After a long day in the office, the last thing I want to do when I get home is cook a complicated meal with a gazillion ingredients. Thanks to Sauté Express® Sauté Starter, I don’t have to sacrifice flavor to save a little time! Each cube contains everything you need to flavor your favorite chicken, fish, shrimp, or pork: butter, olive oil, and a variety of flavorful herbs and spices. This product saves a TON of time while preparing dinner…and it tastes FABULOUS! Sauté Express® Sauté Starter is available in four flavors: Garlic & Herb, Italian Herb, Savory Butter & Olive Oil, and Lemon Pepper.

All of the flavors sounded amazing, but I opted to use Garlic & Herb to create an original recipe to share with you today. When I’m trying to get in and out of the kitchen quickly, shrimp is my go-to ingredient. It cooks in a snap, and it tastes great. The recipe I’m sharing today is Tomato-Basil Shrimp with Orzo and Feta. While you cook up some orzo pasta, you have a pocket of time to sauté shrimp in the flavorful Sauté Express® Sauté Starter Garlic & Herb. After the shrimp are sautéed, tomato and basil are added. Then, everything is tossed with the orzo and bite-size cubes of tangy-salty feta. In less than 30 minutes, you’ve got a meal that looks and tastes like you’ve spent way more time in the kitchen…but that can be our little secret!

Tomato-Basil Shrimp with Orzo and Feta

a Weekend Gourmet Original

Step 1: Add 3 cubes of Garlic & Herb Land O Lakes ® Sauté Express® Sauté Starter to a non-stick pan with high sides. Cook over medium heat until it begins to bubble and sizzle. Then, add 1 pound large shrimp and sauté until they are cooked through and pink, about 4-5 minutes. Lower heat to med-low and add 2 diced and seeded Roma tomato and 4-5 basil leaves cut in a chiffonade -- stack the leaves, roll tightly, and then cut across with a sharp knife for instant basil confetti. Give it a quick toss to combine.

Step 2: Add 4-5 cups cooked orzo pasta (about 8 ounces uncooked) and ½ cup cubed feta cheese. Toss to evenly combine the orzo and feta with the shrimp and sauce. Place the pasta into a pretty serving bowl, and get ready for the compliments you’re about to receive!

That’s IT, folks! All this dish requires is a few minutes in the kitchen with some quick-cook ingredients…and Sauté Express® Sauté Starter. My kitchen smelled amazing, and the dish came out perfectly seasoned in less then 30 minutes. To save time, I purchased peeled shrimp. The most time-consuming part of this recipe was dicing the tomatoes, and that took all of 5 minutes. The garlic flavor was fabulous, but not overwhelming…and it complimented the tomatoes, basil, and feta perfectly. I didn't have to add any additional seasonings to this dish, because it was perfectly flavored! I can see myself using Sauté Express® Sauté Starter in my kitchen all the time: it tastes fantastic, and it saved me a ton of time in my dinner prep. That, my friends, is what you call a win-win scenario!!
