Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss shrimp with olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, paprika, and lemon zest. Coat evenly and arrange on a baking sheet.
- Roast shrimp in the oven for 8–10 minutes until opaque and curled. Set aside.
- In a large pot, boil salted water and cook orzo according to package instructions, typically 8–10 minutes. Drain and return orzo to the pot.
- Stir in more olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to taste into the hot orzo.
- Fold in cherry tomatoes, spinach, parsley, and dill. Mix gently until spinach wilts slightly.
- Carefully fold in feta cheese and capers if using, being gentle to keep feta intact.
- Top the orzo mixture with roasted shrimp and serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with herbs and lemon wedges.
