Company coming this Memorial Day weekend? Don't want to stand over the hot BBQ when it is almost 100 degrees outside? Then try this refreshing recipe from Ina Garten's cookbook Barefoot Contessa at home. This Roasted Shrimp and Orzo can be prepared a day in advance leaving you free time to relax before your company arrives.
The recipe requires time in the kitchen but the end result is so worth all the chopping. It makes a large amount and would serve 4-6 easily. If I was making this recipe for two I would cut the recipe in half. I served this with a loaf of french bread and a bottle of white wine.
I would definitely decrease the amount of dill. I used half the amount of dill the recipe called for and it was still very strong. Salt seems to be heavy handed in this recipe so I decreased the amount of salt because the Feta cheese is salty enough.
You can find this recipe on foodnetwork.com if you do not own Ina's cookbook. If you enjoy cooking then I recommend that you purchase this delightful cookbook.
Would I make this again?
YES, because it was so colorful & tasty & can be prepared ahead of time.
