In a large bowl, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Stir in salt, 1 t. Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes.
Melt 1 T. butter in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat; add shrimp; cook 1-2 minutes on each side, just until cooked through.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil; cook orzo pasta according to the package instructions, 7-10 minutes. Drain; rinse with cold water; set aside.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet; set aside. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 T. butter, melt it until it just starts to brown. Add onion and garlic; cook until translucent and fragrant.
Once the garlic is cooked, add the wine; cook for several minutes. Add heavy cream. Once the liquid is simmering, add the cooked orzo, salt and 1 t. Italian seasoning. Add crumbled feta cheese; stir. Transfer the shrimp back into the skillet; reheat.
Serve, garnished with chopped parsley.
