Ingredients

3/4 pound orzo, cooked al dente
1 large cucumber, seeded, quartered lengthwise, and sliced
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, plus extra for garnish
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup olive oil, plus additional for brushing shrimp
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 pound feta cheese, crumbled
16 medium shrimp, peeled and de-veined

Directions

Combine orzo, cucumber, green onions, and tomatoes in a large bowl. Place dill, vinegar, and mustard in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil and blend until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the vinaigrette over the orzo mixture and stir well to combine. Gently fold in the feta cheese.

Heat grill to high. Brush shrimp with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for approximately 2 minutes per side or until just cooked through. Divide orzo salad among 4 take-out containers or plates and top with 4 shrimp. Garnish with additional dill.

Am taking this orzo salad next week to a dinner picnic in the park. Sounds delicious. Am serving it with smoked salmon with... creme fraiche on cocktail bread, rose' champagne and ginger snaps for dessert. I'll let you know what everyone thinks!Read more

Hard to mess up...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this recipe!! The mustard dill vinaigrette serves as a great base for this dish. I've made this recipe 4 or 5 times... and have made several changes (adding artichoke hearts and roasted red bell peppers instead of tomatoes and cucumbers, added garlic to vinaigrette, added almonds for a crunch, used rotini pasta instead of orzo) and it still yields great results. It allows you to be creative and add your favorite items. I also believe it's better the next day after sitting in the fridge overnight.Read more

DELICIOUS!! Great leftovers too...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made it without the shrimp for a large family dinner and everybody loved it. I tripled the recipe and ended up with... leftover that I ate the following day for lunch. The Vinaigrette also works great on salads too.Read more

One of the Best Dishes I've Ever Had
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I absolutely love this dish, and cannot say enough good things about it! Even my guests who didn't like shrimp ate... everything! From time to time, I made a whole bunch of substitutions (tiny shrimp for the large ones; cilantro for dill; cidar vinegar for white wine), and everything I try ends up fantastic. I could make this recipe forever and not get bored of it.Read more

Great for a large gathering
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

i doubled this recipe and it made a huge amount. I added a 1/2 cup of kalmata olives diced and some chopped yellow and red... pepper. I seasoned the shrimp with lemon pepper. The dressing seemed to be heavy on the dill when I first combined with orzo but after letting the flavors meld in frig for a few hours it was just perfect. Send out many links to the recipe.Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5
