Add English peas, and stir until softened, about 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to an ice bath, reserving boiling water in saucepan.
- Add shrimp to boiling water. Cook until opaque, about 3 minutes, and then drain. Transfer shrimp to ice bath with vegetables. Let stand until chilled, about 3 minutes; drain.

ROASTED SHRIMP AND ORZO
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Fill a large pot with water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and a splash of oil, and bring the water to a boil. Add the orzo and simmer for 9 to 11 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's cooked al dente. Drain and pour into a large bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Pour over the hot pasta and stir well.
- Meanwhile, place the shrimp on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine and spread out in a single layer. Roast for 5 to 6 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through. Don't overcook!
- Add the shrimp to the orzo and then add the scallions, dill, parsley, cucumber, onion, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Toss well. Add the feta and stir carefully. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend, or refrigerate overnight. If refrigerated, taste again for seasonings and bring back to room temperature before serving.
GARLIC & HERB ROASTED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Melt the butter over low heat in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook over low heat for one minute. Off the heat, zest one of the lemons directly into the butter mixture.
- Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp snugly in one layer in a large (12-inch) round ovenproof sauté pan (or 10 × 13-inch baking dish) with only the tails overlapping. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp. Sprinkle with the sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Slice the ends off the zested lemon, cut five (1/4-inch-thick) slices, and tuck them among the shrimp. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, just until the shrimp are firm, pink, and cooked through. Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the shrimp. Serve hot with the toasted bread for dipping into the garlic butter.

SHRIMP AND ORZO SALAD
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.

Tips:
- For the most flavorful shrimp, choose wild-caught shrimp if possible. They have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than farm-raised shrimp.
- Be sure to devein the shrimp before cooking. This will remove the dark vein that runs down the back of the shrimp, which can be gritty and unappetizing.
- To roast the shrimp perfectly, cook them at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them to stay juicy and tender.
- If you don't have orzo, you can use another small pasta shape, such as penne or macaroni.
- Fresh herbs, such as parsley and cilantro, add a bright, flavorful touch to this salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
- Lemon juice adds a refreshing acidity to this salad. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but be sure to dilute it with a little water so that it's not too sour.
Conclusion:
This roasted shrimp, corn, and orzo salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It's packed with flavor and healthy ingredients, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a light and refreshing salad, give this one a try.
