Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails cut off
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup orzo, cooked
30 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 scallions, white and tender green parts, finely chopped
1 cup finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons capers, drained

  • In a large bowl, toss together the shrimp/orzo mixture with the marinade, scallions, red onion, capers, celery, fresh corn and tomatoes, and set aside.
  • To make the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together the oregano, olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and vinegar. Pour over the shrimp, orzo, and vegetables, add the parsley, and toss to incorporate. Cover and refrigerate until ready to eat. Serve chilled.

I found this salad to be a bit too salty. I think I would use less capers next time.
