People
1 cup / 8 ounces Orzo
1/4 cup Olive oil
1/4 cup Lemon juice

Instructions

Cooking mode

  1. Cook the orzo in salted water until al dente. Salt the water after it comes to a boil, stir, and add in the orzo.
  2. While the orzo is cooking, make the dressing by adding olive oil, lemon juice and zest, dill, mustard, salt, and pepper in a glass measuring cup. Stir until fully combined.
  3. Add the cooked orzo to a large bowl, and, while still warm, pour the dressing on top and stir. Crumble in some feta (measure with your heart) and stir again.
  4. If making shrimp, thaw peeled and deveined jumbo black tiger shrimp and pat them dry. Add some of the reserved dressing and toss them into that dressing.
  5. Heat a pan over medium-high heat. The pan should be hot before adding in the shrimp. Add the shrimp making sure to space them apart. Cook on each side for 1 to 2 minutes. Toss the shrimp in with the lemon orzo and enjoy!
