A staple at our house! We like it even better after it is refrigerated overnight. We always add extra spinach and peppers, and we cut back a bit on the balsamic for those that aren't a big fan. Then more can be added for individual servings for those that are a balsamic fan.

Awesome salad!

This was wonderful

Wonderful dish for a large group. I like that the ingredients are what most would have in the pantry/frig. I did put in the whole 4 oz package of feta cheese. I thought the shrimp was a bit skimpy so next time I will put in 2 lbs or just cut back on the orzo...maybe 12 oz. All in all bright flavors and colors and done in about 20 minutes.

Very easy to make and delicious.

Delicious!!

Great recipe. I read the reviews first and added more shrimp, lemon zest and fresh basil. Will definitely make this again!

Delicious and refreshing. Great summer salad. Easy 15 minute supper. Served it with some Fresh Market sour dough for garlic toast.

Addicted to this easy great tasting salad. I add more spinach. Wonderful for company.

Easy to make - light and fresh for summer!

Very tasty. Will try again!

This recipe arrived just in time. Where I live we are exactly in th Shrimp season so I prepared it. Delicious.

Exquisite flavor,. Love the flavor of the shrimp and feta cheese with the Greek flavor of the kalamata olives and the spinach together. Good and easy recipe

Loved it

Yum, I used goat cheese not feta.

This dish was amazing. I will be making it again.

Easy recipe. Easy to find ingredients. Remarkably tasty. Great for hot summer day.

Taste great and very easy to prepare.

Delicious! I’ve made it twice already and gave the recipe to friends. I added cucumber chucks and zucchini noodles and left out the peppers. Just add what you like! This recipe is so easy. More like this please

A wonderful salad, I used less orzo, more shrimp and vegetables, especially spinach. This keeps well for 2-3 days in refrigerator so making ahead is a plus. Fresh market shrimp is cooked whole then I cut it up a bit for easier eating, so so delicious! One of my favorite recipes that I fix for company; worth the prep time that can be done ahead of time also making final serving the salad easy.

Excellent. I did add 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes and topped with a sprinkle of fresh lemon zest. I served it using the orzo while still hot from the colander and the shrimp mix hot from the skillet. Doubling the amount of shrimp and serving it hot made it into a meal, not a salad.

DELICIOUS!!! This is one of the best salad recipes ever! Absolutely loved it, very flavorful, fresh ingredients. I will definitely make again. Cut the shrimp into smaller pieces.

Perfect meal, healthy and so delicious. .thank you for recipe.

Great recipe. This is a very delicious dish and takes very little time to prepare and serve. We generally prepare and serve quite a few Mediterranean dishes so this is right up my alley. Thanks Fresh Market!!

Very good

Yum. Yum

Great combination of flavors. With the return of Spring this is sure to be a new family favorite.

Quick, easy, spiced just right. Makes enough for a crowd. Take it to the beach for your next picnic.

I am a shrimp lover and make a lot of salads, I use a lot of salad shrimp, this will be a new recipe for me, Thank you. "D" Spry

This was amazing! I doubled the feta but otherwise followed the directions given. Super easy - this will definitely be my go to spring/summer meal. I served it with fresh bread and white wine - oh so good!

Very tasty and super easy.

Recipe was good, but would add some fresh chopped basil, lemon zest and at least another half pound to pound of shrimp. I cut the shrimp in half before sautéing so there would be more shrimp throughout. Still needed extra shrimp to be a main meal. Would be good with crusty bread and a nice sorbet. Good meal for a hot summer night or a brunch.

This recipe was fantastic. I made it this evening for my husband and I. I used 1 cup of the orzo instead of the 16 ounces and the 1 cup was adequate for us including left overs for another meal. I didn't have the Mediterranean Rub and Marinade, so used Italian Seasoning. Didn't have time to purchase the feta, but used goat cheese crumbles instead, which worked great (lower salt). Definitely will make this recipe over and over. Wonderful for the summers, here in South Florida. Well done Fresh Market Chefs.

Delicious! Easy to make and got lots of compliments!!

Fantastic, easy, delicious.

Amazingingly simple to make and well worth the few minutes it takes.

This recipe was absolutely wonderful, all the flavors were excellent together and it was a nice light dish. My husband and I had it with the shrimp but I made some shredded chicken for my son and he loved it.

Great flavors and super simple!

Excellent!!! Healthy!!! Easy !!!
