Shrimp and Orzo Dish recipe

Ingredients:
2 pound raw deshelled and deveined shrimp (tails removed)
1 Pound of Orzo
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (to start)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp salt (to start)
1 tsp pepper (to start)
1/2 bunch of Italian parsley
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 whole english cucumber (sliced in half the long way then cubed)
1 red onion diced
Fresh feta cheese cubed

Here's how you begin

Place raw shrimp on a baking sheet, sprinkle with evoo, salt and pepper (generously)
at 400 degrees for 6-7 mins (that's it)

Make orzo as directed on package...when done strain and pour in to big mixing bowl. In a measuring cup squeeze 1/2 cup of lemon juice (about 2 lemons but you will then add more to taste), then the olive oil, your salt and pepper. Whisk together and pour over pasta. Chop up your herbs and add in to bowl, then onion, and cucumber. Toss together to blend in flavors. Now pour the baking sheet of shrimp and liquid on the sheet right in. Toss to incorporate flavors. Here where you taste and see what you think it needs more of..oil, lemon juice, salt, or even everything..lol season it to your palette. At least ad in cubed feta cheese and toss gently to not destroy feta...Tada yumminess in a minutes.


Here's some more pictures of the dish...keep in mind was taken with my old camera so light isn't the greatest.
