Ingredients

¼ cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 large clove garlic, minced
Big pinch of salt
Black pepper, to taste
⅔ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 medium yellow pepper, halved lengthwise, seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil
Ground black pepper and salt, to taste
1 gallon water
2 tablespoons salt
1 pound medium pasta shells
1 pound cooked shrimp, halved lengthwise
8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
¾ cup coarsely chopped, pitted Kalamata olives
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
½ small red onion, cut into small dice
2 teaspoons dried oregano

Steps:

To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the rice wine vinegar, mustard, garlic, pinch of salt, and pepper; slowly pour in 2/3 cup olive oil, whisking constantly. Pour into a jar with a tight-fitting lid to transport it to the picnic.
Adjust oven rack to highest position and turn broiler on high. Toss zucchini and bell pepper with 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper to taste, and arrange on a large baking sheet with sides. Broil until spotty brown, 8 to 10 minutes, turning zucchini slices and pepper halves once. Set aside in a large bowl to cool, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
Bring 1 gallon of water and 2 tablespoons of salt to boil. Add pasta; boil using package times, until just tender. Drain thoroughly (do not rinse) and dump onto the baking sheet. Set aside to cool.
Put vegetables, pasta and remaining ingredients (except dressing) in the bowl or a gallon-sized zipper bag (can be refrigerated for several hours). When ready to serve, add dressing; toss to coat.

Ingredients

3/4 lb tomatoes, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 lb feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon thyme
6 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced

3/4 lb pasta, cooked
3/4 lb bay shrimp, cooked

Steps:

Mix first 10 ingredients in large bowl.
Add pasta and shrimp and
toss to blend.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

Use high-quality shrimp. Fresh, wild-caught shrimp are the best option, but frozen shrimp can also be used if they are thawed properly.
Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked until they are opaque and pink, but not overcooked, or they will become tough and rubbery.
Use a good quality pasta. A short pasta, such as penne or rotini, is a good choice for this salad.
Don't overcook the pasta. Cook it until it is al dente, which means it is still slightly firm to the bite.
Use a variety of vegetables. This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some good options include cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers, and zucchini.
Use a flavorful dressing. A simple vinaigrette or a creamy dressing are both good options.
Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best served fresh, so don't make it ahead of time.

Conclusion:

Greek shrimp pasta salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its combination of shrimp, pasta, vegetables, and a flavorful dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
