Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to the boil. Cook the orzo until al dente, then drain and rinse under cool running water until cold.
2. In the bottom of a large bowl, whisk together the shallot, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard and ½ teaspoon of the oregano. Slowly whisk in 4 tablespoons of the olive oil, then season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
3. Pat the shrimp dry, then season both sides with the remaining 1 teaspoon of oregano, salt and pepper.
4. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
5. Add the cooled orzo, cooked shrimp, scallions, cherry tomatoes, feta, Persian cucumbers and dill to the bowl with the dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper, toss to coat and serve straight away.
