Orzo Salad With Shrimp and Feta image

Broiled shrimp mixed with lemon, scallions, fresh herbs, crunchy cucumber, salty feta and olives makes this an elegant pasta salad. Serve it as a hearty side dish or easy main course.

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.

ONE-PAN GARLIC-BUTTER SHRIMP WITH ORZO



One-Pan Garlic-Butter Shrimp with Orzo image

One pan and 30 minutes makes for one delish dinner dish.

Provided by Marianne Williams

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup unsalted butter, divided
¼ cup olive oil, divided
2 medium shallots, finely chopped (½ cup)
½ cup white wine
3 cups vegetable broth
1 ½ cups uncooked orzo
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
6 medium garlic cloves, smashed
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh juice (from 2 lemons), divided, plus lemon wedges for serving
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, divided
1 pound large peeled, deveined raw shrimp
2 tablespoons drained capers, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons each of the butter and oil in a large, deep skillet over medium. Add shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add wine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Transfer 3 tablespoons shallot mixture to a medium bowl; reserve remaining shallot mixture in skillet. Add remaining 2 tablespoons each butter and oil to shallot mixture in medium bowl, and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • Add broth to remaining shallot mixture in skillet, and bring to a boil over high. Stir in orzo and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Reduce to a simmer over medium-low. Cover and cook, undisturbed and without uncovering, 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Add remaining ½ teaspoon salt to garlic; using the flat side of a chef's knife, press and rub together to form a paste. Add garlic paste, lemon juice, crushed red pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the parsley to shallot mixture in medium bowl, and stir to combine. Add shrimp, and toss to fully coat (mixture will start to solidify because shrimp are cold).
  • Uncover cooked orzo; spoon shrimp in a single layer over orzo. Spoon remaining shallot mixture in bowl over shrimp and orzo. Cover and cook over medium-low until shrimp are just opaque, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Uncover; sprinkle with capers, lemon zest, and remaining 2 tablespoons parsley. Serve immediately alongside lemon wedges.
