I had the third grade reading teachers over for dinner on Tuesday night. We had a good time and got a lot of “discussing” done. I set the table with a new notebook and pen for each person at their place. What teacher doesn’t like a new notebook and pen? They came in handy when we were talking about the year.
The meal turned into a potluck and my favorite dish was Aura’s Shrimp Orzo Salad:
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatos w/basil, oregano &garlic
1 jar (12 oz.) quartered marinated artichokes
1 1/2 cups orzo
1 lb cleaned/deveined med. size shrimp
1/2 cup crumbled feta
optional things I’ve added: handful spinach, 1 or 2 roasted red bell peppers
Bring pot of lightly salted water to boiling.
In large skillet, simmer diced tomatoes and liquid from the artichokes over med. high heat. Cook for about 10 min, until some liquid has evaporated. Cook orzo in boiling water for 5-7 min. drain well, do not rinse, put in large serving bowl. Add artichokes, shrimp, spinach, peppers to skillet with the tomatoes. Simmer 5 min, pour into bowl with the orzo, mix. Add in feta ,serve 😉
I also made the WW yogurt/Coolwhip Pies in lime and raspberry.
