Drain pasta and put in your large serving bowl, pour mixture over hot pasta and stir well.

Do not overcook. Add shrimp to orzo and toss. Let cool 5 minutes. Then add scallions, dill, cucumber, 2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, toss well. Cool another 10 minutes and add feta. Let sit at room temperature for an hour before serving. If you refrigerate it, bring back to room temperature and taste again for seasoning. You usually have to add some fresh dill again.
