Basil Shrimp with Feta and Orzo

This is another adventure in low calorie eating, and again, it is not my recipe because my creativity doesn't usually extend to low calorie adventures.  But, now that I have tried a few, I might see some ideas of my own for the future.  Speaking of which, I may be missing in action some while dieting.  I am going to try my best not to be, but you know cooking and thinking about food is kind of detrimental to the whole dieting thing.  Now, back to the shrimp... you can find the recipe here at Nutmeg Notebook.  It is a quick and easy recipe that is full of flavor, and flavor is something you definitely need when dieting.

Ok, so I'm trying to eat healthy, so I will be trying some recipes out there that I can post a link to so that you can try them to.  If I adapt them, I will post that here too.  Don't worry, not everything I am posting will be healthy.  I doubt I can stay away from baking entirely or for very long, but you are going to be getting a dose of good for you stuff too.  This recipe can be found here:  Hoisin-Glazed Chicken with Cabbage Slaw.  It is a Real Simple recipe.  I didn't change it, though I did make about 1 1/2 of the recipe to account for the males in the house wanting a bit more.  It is good, inexpensive and quick - perfect for a weeknight.  I cut up my vegetables a good bit more than what they have pictured.
