Directions
Preheat the broiler. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water and shake dry.
Meanwhile, toss the spinach, radishes, cucumber, onion, olives, mint, parsley and 1/3 cup each lemon juice and olive oil in a large bowl. Add the orzo and season with salt and pepper.
Toss the shrimp with the remaining 2 tablespoons each lemon juice and olive oil in a bowl. Arrange on a foil-lined broiler pan and broil until slightly pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and broil until just cooked through, 2 to 3 more minutes.
Divide the salad among plates. Top with the shrimp, sprinkle with the feta and season with pepper.

Great dinner salad! I added some sherry cooking wine and basil pesto to the sauce. I was out of spinach and used green leaf lettuce. Just as good. Will definitely make this again!

Absolutely fantastic, filling, delicious salad! Only addition I made was a little sugar to the dressing. Perfectly satisfying! Great, simple salad to make to impress your guests for dinner or lunch.

Fairly fast to make for two people working together. Absolutely delicious blend of flavors! We used a fraction of the dressing than it called for and were glad we didn't add more.
