Ingredients
- 2 cups dry orzo pasta
- 3/4 cup olive oil divided
- 1/2 cup lemon juice olive oil
- 2 pounds medium sized peeled and deveined shrimp
- 4 garlic cloves grated
- 4 cups diced/bite size English cucumber
- 1/2 cup minced red onion
- 1 cup minced fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup minced fresh dill
- 1/2 cup minced fresh mint
- 6 ounces feta cubed small

Instructions
- Set a medium-sized pot with water over high heat.
- Bring to a boil, lightly salt the water and add the pasta. Cook according to box directions until the pasta is al dente.
- Drain the pasta and add to a large bowl.
- While the pasta is still hot pour over 1/2 cup of olive oil and lemon juice.
- Give it a gentle stir and set aside while you prepare the remaining ingredients. (Note: Yes, this will look like A LOT of olive oil but this is going to thin out once you add in all your ingredients)
- In a large skillet add the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and set over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot add in the shrimp and cook until they just start to turn pink.
- Add in the grated garlic and continue cooking until the shrimp are firm and pink.
- Remove from the heat and add the shrimp with any remaining oil and garlic into the bowl with the pasta. Stir to combine.
- To the pasta mixture add all remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
- Taste and season with the desired amount of kosher salt and pepper. Chill and serve.
