I've been making this recipe for years. I found it in the Weber's Art of the Grill cookbook. It perfectly combines light and intense flavors.

Time 35m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh dill weed
1 teaspoon minced garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
16 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup orzo pasta
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
3/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
1/2 cup kalamata olive, pitted and quartered
2 tablespoons green onions, thinnly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons oregano, finely chopped
4 skewers

Steps:

  • TO MAKE THE VINAIGRETTE:.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Place the shrimp in a medium bowl.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette over the shrimp and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  • TO MAKE THE SALAD:.
  • Bring a medium saucepan three-quarters full of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the orzo pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and place in a bowl.
  • Add the remaining vinaigrette and the feta cheese and toss well.
  • Add the bell pepper, kalamata olives, scallions, and oregano. Toss again.
  • Thread 4 shrimp onto each skewer, bending each shrimp almost in half so that the skewer passes through it twice.
  • Place the shrimp directly over high heat and grill, turning once, until the shrimp is just opaque inside with lightly browned edges, 4 to 5 minutes total.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately over the pasta.
