Directions: |
Directions:1) boil a pot of water
2)plunge the shrimp in for a minute or 2 until they are defrosted &cooked - you don't want to overcook as it makes the shrimp rubbery
3) remove the shrimp and run under cold water...you can use the same water to cook the orzo.
4)boil the orzo as directed, 10 min. or al dente, you don't want to overcook this either...when done, run ice cold water through it in asieve.
5) meanwhile, whisk the oil & vinegar together. Add the chopped herbs
6) chop half of the shrimp into chunks and leave some whole shrimp (it makes the salad look better)
7) toss all the ingredients together -
8) bon apetit! |

Notes: Notes- I put the salad on a bed of raw spinach....you could put in 'boats'of green pepper quarters, half a tomato scooped out. You could vary the herbs - maybe oregano, rosemary or thyme or basil! -- It travels well also, I packed it for Charlie's lunch the next day, and had 2 bowls of it myself for lunch at home!
