A refreshing and flavorful dish combining tender shrimp, orzo pasta, and a medley of fresh herbs and vegetables.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the orzo until al dente.
Stir the orzo occasionally to prevent sticking.
Drain the orzo and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle a little olive oil over the orzo to keep it from clumping.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Toss the shrimp with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer for even roasting.
Roast the shrimp in the oven for 6-8 minutes until pink and cooked through.
Do not overcook the shrimp to keep them tender.
Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed.
Combine the cooked orzo, roasted shrimp, cucumber, red onion, dill, parsley, and feta cheese in the mixing bowl.
Gently toss the ingredients to avoid breaking the feta.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Let the salad sit for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the salad at room temperature and enjoy.
Garnish with extra dill or parsley for a fresh touch.
