I've had the recipe for many years and it always receives raves and recipe requests. It has a tantalizing oriental flavor. Colorful, elegant, and easy to prepare. I tend to cut down on the orzo and increase more of the good stuff . Ingredients:
1 cup orzo pasta |
1 1/2 lbs cooked shrimp |
1 sweet red pepper, julienned |
1 cup snow pea pods, blanched |
1 bunch green onion, 1/4 ed lenghtwise and into 2 inch lengths |
1/4 cup rice vinegar |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes |
1/2 cup canola oil |
2 -3 tablespoons sesame oil |
sesame seeds (optional) |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
Directions:
1. Prepare orzo according to pkg directions.
2. Drain.
3. If using large shrimp (recommended), slice them in half lengthwise so there are 2 equal halves.
4. Combine all salad ingredients.
5. Combine dressing ingredients, whisking thoroughly.
6. Adjust to your taste and combine with salad ingredients.
7. Chill several hours, stirring occasionally.
