Thanks Beth - no it is not either of these. I just remembered it also had feta cheese in it. It was easy and delicious. Originally posted by BethR:

Marge, I believe the recipe you're looking for is called "Basil Shrimp with Feta and Orzo" from March 2000. It has a picture of the shrimp in a foil bag in a dish. The orzo does look like rice. Unfortunately I only have the magazine so if someone with MC could be so kind, it would help us both out cause otherwise I'd be up all night typing and I'm very tired. Yawn...

Thank you guys so much. This is the first time I have ever used this website and it is great. Jeanne G., this is the recipe I was looking for. I have been driving everyone at work crazy and one co worker brought in all her 1999 magazines in today. If none of you have tried it please do. I've made it several times for friends and everyone loved it. I'm so happy, now I can get some sleep. Thanks again and hope I can help someone else someday.

I thought maybe you meant this recipe, but the mention of rice and cilantro threw me off the track. This is such a good recipe -- one of my favorites -- yum!

[Jeanne G]

I did a search for this for you b/c I remembered it being discussed. The recipe below is what I copied from the thread I found from my search.

Basil Shrimp with Feta and Orzo

1 regular-size foil oven bag
Cooking spray
1/2 cup uncooked orzo
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 cup diced tomato
3/4 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

1. Preheat oven to 450º.

2. Coat inside of oven bag with cooking spray. Place the bag on a large shallow baking pan.

3. Cook the pasta in boiling water 5 minutes, omitting salt and fat; drain. Place the pasta in a large bowl. Stir in 1 teaspoon oil and next 7 ingredients (1 teaspoon oil through pepper). Place the orzo mixture in prepared oven bag. Combine shrimp and basil. Arrange shrimp mixture on orzo mixture. Fold edge of bag over to seal. Bake at 450º for 25 minutes or until shrimp are done. Cut open bag with sharp knife, and peel back the foil. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil.
