Greek Style Grilled Shrimp Orzo Pasta Salad

4.0

2 cups (340g) orzo pasta (rice-shaped pasta)

3 lemons zested and juiced for salad and for shrimp (approx ½ cup lemon juice)

½ cup extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

2 scallions, white and green parts minced

1 cup fresh herbs, chopped (I usually do a combination of fresh dill, fresh parsley and mint - plus more if you want it extra herby)

1 large cucumber (hothouse cucumber or English), unpeeled, seeded, and medium-diced or 4 small Persian cucumbers diced

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved (Approx 341 grams/12 oz)

½ cup small red onion peeled and diced

200 grams good feta cheese, large diced or crumbled (or more feta if desired)

1½ -2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ teaspoon lemon zest

¼-½ teaspoon chili flakes

½ teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

Cook orzo in a large pot of boiling water according to package directions then drain and pour into a large bowl.
Add the lemon juice and olive oil to hot pasta and season with salt and pepper.
Toss shrimp with the olive oil, lemon zest and remaining herbs and spices for the grilled shrimp.
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium high heat and place shrimp on the grill. Grill on each side for about two minutes or until no longer pink. Remove and set aside when done.
Add the shrimp to the orzo and then add the herbs, cucumber, red onion, scallions and toss well. Gently fold in the feta.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or refrigerate overnight but add tomatoes before serving to keep them fresh.
