Serves:6

Serves: 6
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • Kosher salt
    Good olive oil
    3/4 pound orzo pasta (rice-shaped pasta)
    1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
    Freshly ground black pepper
    2 pounds (16 to 18 count) shrimp, peeled and deveined
    3/4 cup minced scallions, white and green parts
    3/4 cup chopped fresh dill
    1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
    1 hothouse cucumber, unpeeled, seeded, and medium-diced
    1/2 cup small-diced red onion
    3/4 pound good feta cheese, large diced

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
    Fill a large pot with water, add 1 teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of oil, and bring the water to a boil. Add the orzo and simmer for 9 to 11 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's cooked al dente.
    Drain and pour into a large bowl.

    Whisk together the lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper.
    Pour over the hot pasta and stir well.

    Meanwhile, place the shrimp on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine and spread out in a single layer. Bake for 5 to 6 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through. Don't overcook!

    Add the shrimp to the orzo and then add the scallions, dill, parsley, cucumber, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss well. Add the feta and stir carefully. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend, or refrigerate overnight. If refrigerated, taste again for seasonings and bring back to room temperature before serving.
