Garlic Shrimp and Orzo Salad image

If I have Shrimp in the Freezer, I can always come up with a dish. The other day I wanted something different for a salad. I enjoy cold pasta salads and rice salads so I decided to make an Orzo salad. Get it, orzo is rice shaped pasta.... anyway, this ended up being really good and can see how versitle it can get as well. It doesn't get any easier than this. Hope you enjoy!

Yield 1 cup, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb raw shrimp
1/4 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves
splash white wine
salt and pepper
2 cups orzo pasta, cooked and cooled
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (10 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, drained

1/4 cup red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Marinate shrimp in garlic and olive oil. I do this early in the morning.
  • When ready to eat scoop shrimp out of the marinade with a slotted spoon Place in a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté for a few minutes, until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Add a splash of white wine and season while cooking.
  • Mix together lemon juice, and olive oil and pour over all remaining ingredients. Mix it all up until everything is coated. Season to taste.
