"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Preheat over to 400º F.

Brush 11 x 7 inch glass baking dish with oil. Cook orzo according to package directions. Drain well and return orzo to same pot. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1/4 c feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and 2 Tbsp basil; stir to blend. Arrange orzo mixture in prepared baking dish.

Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and saute until slightly pink, about 2 minutes (shrimp will not be cooked through at this stage). Arrange shrimp atop orzo mixture.

Add remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil to same skillet. Add garlic and saute over medium high heat 30 seconds. Add tomatoes with juice; cook 1 minute. Stir in wine, oregano, crushed red pepper, and remaining 1/4 cup basil. Simmer uncovered until reduced to a thick sauce consistency, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper; spoon over shrimp. Bake until heated through, about 10 minutes.

Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup feta cheese and serve.
