Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 16

¾ pound orzo
Kosher salt
½ cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed (You'll need 3-4 lemons depending on their size))
3/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ lbs large shrimp (peeled and deveined (16-18 count))
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
5-6 green onions (scallions, both white and green parts)
1 cup fresh dill (chopped)
1 cup fresh Italian parsley (chopped)
1 English cucumber (medium diced - no need to peel)
½ cup red onion (small diced)
1 cup feta cheese (cut into 1-inch cubes)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • To Cook the Orzo: Fill a large pot with water and 3 tablespoons of Kosher salt and bring it to a boil. Add the orzo and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until it is al dente, about 9-12 minutes. Drain and place into a large salad bowl.
  • Make the salad dressing: While the orzo is cooking, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl.
  • Pour dressing over the cooked orzo and set it aside.
  • To roast the shrimp: Place shrimp, olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl and give it a gentle toss. Transfer the shrimp onto a sheet pan in a single layer. Roast in the oven until it is cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the oven.
  • To assemble the salad: Into the bowl with orzo, add cooked shrimp, green onions, dill, parsley, cucumber, and red onion. Give it a toss. Add feta on top. Taste for seasoning and add in if necessary.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour for flavors to blend. Serve.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
8 ounces orzo pasta (about 2 cups)
1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails removed), coarsely chopped
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Freshly ground pepper
Grated zest of 2 lemons, plus 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
1 cup diced English cucumber
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
3 tablespoons halved pitted kalamata olives

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente (about 2 minutes less than the label directs). Drain and rinse under cool water; shake off the excess. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping, while you make the shrimp.
  • Toss the shrimp on a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the garlic, and salt and pepper to taste; arrange in a single layer. Broil the shrimp, turning once, until opaque and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp, lemon zest and juice, scallions, mint, dill, cucumber, feta, olives and the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil to the bowl with the pasta; toss. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, up to 6 hours. (Bring to room temperature before serving.)

SHRIMP AND ORZO SALAD



Shrimp and Orzo Salad image

There are so many shapes of pasta out there. One of my favorites is orzo: rice-shaped pasta. I do not see it used as often as its more popular relatives like spaghetti, penne, linguine et al, which is a shame. I love the fact that orzo can be treated like rice and used to make tomato-based (jollof) or stir-fried dishes. It can be creamy like a risotto or made like rice and served with a stew or sauce. Here I use it to make a cold salad with shrimp and sweet cherry tomatoes. Use a lot of garden-fresh herbs to elevate this salad and feel free to add more vegetables if you want.
