    Great without the shrimp also. i used this as a side for grilled leg of lamb. Instead of the tomatoes, i substituted chopped yellow and red peppers. Plus I made an extra batch of the dressing on the side for the next day,,even better!

    The first time I made this was part of the menu for a lakeside picnic for my mother's birthday. Delish!!! I'm making again today for a Lake Tahoe beach lunch with my friend tomorrow.

    This is fantastic! Actually no need for the shrimp. As a pasta salad alone it's amazing but adding the shrimp is nice if you have them. I love Barefoot contessa's orzo with grilled vegetables and her tomato feta salad( I add cucumbers but this one may top them all. The dressing, instead if biting is creamy and delicious. Wow! Everyone went crazy for it! Oh I did cook the orzo in chicken broth, my only change. Definitely better the next day. I did try the barefoot contessa roasted shrimp with orzo and I loved that too. They are both great.
