SHRIMP AND ORZO SALAD
There are so many shapes of pasta out there. One of my favorites is orzo: rice-shaped pasta. I do not see it used as often as its more popular relatives like spaghetti, penne, linguine et al, which is a shame. I love the fact that orzo can be treated like rice and used to make tomato-based (jollof) or stir-fried dishes. It can be creamy like a risotto or made like rice and served with a stew or sauce. Here I use it to make a cold salad with shrimp and sweet cherry tomatoes. Use a lot of garden-fresh herbs to elevate this salad and feel free to add more vegetables if you want.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente (about 2 minutes less than the label directs). Drain and rinse under cool water; shake off the excess. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping, while you make the shrimp.
- Toss the shrimp on a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the garlic, and salt and pepper to taste; arrange in a single layer. Broil the shrimp, turning once, until opaque and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the shrimp, lemon zest and juice, scallions, mint, dill, cucumber, feta, olives and the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil to the bowl with the pasta; toss. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, up to 6 hours. (Bring to room temperature before serving.)

- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Fill a large pot with water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and a splash of oil, and bring the water to a boil.

- Cook orzo according to directions in salted water. During the last two minutes of cooking, add the frozen corn to the water. Drain the corn and orzo together and run cool water over it until it's sufficiently cooled, shaking off any excess water as best you can when you're done rinsing. Meanwhile, while the orzo is cooking, make the dressing and cook the shrimp.
- In the bottom of a large bowl, mix together the olive oil (1/4 cup), lemon zest and juice, the fresh herbs (1/4 cup), crushed red pepper (1/4 teaspoon), minced garlic (1 small clove), 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and honey (1 tablespoon).
- Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel. In a medium bowl, mix the shrimp with 2 tablespoons of the dressing, along with another pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high for about one minute, then cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until fully cooked (you may need extra oil in addition to the dressing if you use another kind of skillet).
