Baked Orzo with Seafood and Feta Recipe

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the orzo, stirring well, and cook according to package directions. Drain and set aside. Remove the skin and any bones from the halibut; cut into 1-inch pieces and set aside. Heat the oil in a 10 to 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Put the onion into the pan and saute 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute 2 minutes.

Pour the tomatoes and broth into the pan and stir in the sugar, herbs, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Stir often. (The sauce can be made a day in advance. Cool, cover and refrigerate. Reheat before continuing with the next step.) Remove the pan from the heat. Stir the orzo and halibut into the sauce. Cover and bake 8 minutes.

Gently fold the shrimp and parsley into the pan and sprinkle the feta on top. Continue baking, uncovered, 8 to 10 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the halibut is cooked through. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
