Steps:
- 1. Make the vinaigrette: whisk together all the vinaigrette ingredients.
- 2. Put the shrimp in a medium bowl. Add just 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette over the shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes in the fridge.
- 3. In a medium saucepan, bring some salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta and put in a medium bowl. Add the rest of the vinaigrette and toss. Add the feta cheese and toss. Add the remaining veggies (bell pepper, olives, scallions and oregano) and toss once more.
- 4. Light the grill and set at high heat. Remove shrimp from fridge and thread four shrimp onto four skewers. Grill the shrimp until opaque, about 3-5 minutes total.Don't overcook or they will dry out.
- 5. To serve, divide the orzo salad among four plates. Lay a skewer across the salad, and serve immediately.
