This is a great recipe for a summer party. It's easy to make and can be served hot or cold. I like to add a little extra lemon juice to the dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but this salad changed my mind. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the orzo was cooked al dente. The dressing was also very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I also like to add a little bit of chopped red onion for extra flavor.
