Cooking Steps
- Before starting, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings).
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Finely chop parsley.
- Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- To the boiling water, add orzo. Cook for 8-10 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Strain orzo, reserving 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) of pasta water, then return to the pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and half the Mediterranean Spice Blend.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then shrimp.
- Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink.** Transfer to a plate.
- To the same pan, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then peppers, zucchini and remaining Mediterranean Spice Blend.
- Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp.
- Add in 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, garlic and shrimp. Cook for 30 sec-1 min until fragrant and shrimp is warmed through.
- To the pot with the orzo, stir in pesto and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper, if you like.
- Divide orzo between bowls, then top with shrimp and veggies.
- Top with yogurt sauce.
- Sprinkle parsley and feta over top.

- Ease of prep: Most reviewers found this dish quick and straightforward to pull together, making it a great weeknight option.
- Suggestions: Sear the shrimp well for best results, and consider adding more yogurt sauce or extra seasoning to the orzo if you prefer a bolder flavour. Swapping feta for a cheese you enjoy, such as a cheddar-mozzarella blend, also works well.
- Portions: Reviewers noted generous shrimp portions and serving sizes, with several describing the dish as more than enough for two.
