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.)

MEDITERRANEAN ORZO SALAD
This light and refreshing cold pasta salad is loaded with the flavors of the Mediterranean, and pairs well with grilled proteins, such as fish, pork, chicken or steak. If you make this in advance, reserve a bit of the dressing to add right before serving, as the pasta has a tendency to soak up the dressing as it sits over time.

- Fill a 5 qt saucepan halfway with water and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the orzo and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook the pasta for about 2 minutes less than the box indicates. You want the orzo to be just cooked, but still firm. While the pasta is cooking, add the frozen peas to the bottom of the colander that you will be using to drain the orzo.
- When the pasta is cooked properly, drain it over the frozen peas. This will defrost and cook the peas just slightly. Rinse the pasta and peas under cold water to stop the cooking process then set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped dill and salt. Add the pasta and peas and fold until completely combined.
- Stir in crumbled feta to combine then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour. Before serving, give the salad one last stir to redistribute the dressing and break up any pasta that stuck together. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper if needed. Serve this salad cold or at room temperature. Enjoy!
