I love an easy one-pot pasta dish – easy to make and clean up but full of flavor and interest. I add a slightly Greek twist here, with lemon, dill and feta on a base of orzo with some lovely juicy shrimp in the mix.

New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp
Mardi Gras is around the corner again, believe it or not, so I am dusting off one of my favorite classic New Orleans dishes – Barbecue Shrimp. Now, as a born and bred Memphian, I am very particular about what is and is not barbecue, and by that reckoning, this is not.
