Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Orzo

    In a pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add orzo and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine shrimp, chili oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Vegetables

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss zucchini, yellow squash, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.

  4. 4

    Grill the Shrimp

    Remove shrimp from the marinade and grill for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn pink and opaque.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked orzo, grilled vegetables, and grilled shrimp. Toss gently and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
