Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails cut off
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup orzo, cooked
30 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 scallions, white and tender green parts, finely chopped
1 cup finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh sweet corn
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf parsley)

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan 3/4 full of salted water to a boil over high heat.
  • Add the shrimp and simmer until pink, about 5 minutes. Drain the shrimp and rinse quickly under cold water.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the garlic, lemon juice and red pepper flakes. Add the hot shrimp to the garlic mixture and marinate for 10 minutes along with orzo.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the shrimp/orzo mixture with the marinade, scallions, red onion, capers, celery, fresh corn and tomatoes, and set aside.
  • To make the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together the oregano, olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and vinegar. Pour over the shrimp, orzo, and vegetables, add the parsley, and toss to incorporate. Cover and refrigerate until ready to eat. Serve chilled.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This salad is a bit bland. I would have liked it with more herbs or spices.

I found the shrimp to be a bit overcooked.

The dressing is a bit too vinegary for my taste.

This salad is a bit too heavy for my taste. I would have preferred it with less orzo and more vegetables.

I'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but I really enjoyed this salad. The flavors were well-balanced and the shrimp were cooked perfectly.
