Orzo with Grilled Shrimp

For this orzo dish, grilled shrimp is the star while mild flavors such as baby kale, Italian parsley, and olive oil take supporting roles. Seared Halloumi cheese, lemon, and scallions reveal bolder bites—unexpected twists abound! This recipe requires a few steps, however the cheese and pasta may be prepared ahead of time making the pièce de résistance much easier to toss together. If you can delegate the grilling, that’s even better.
