  1. Roasted shrimp and orzo 1) Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6.

  2. Fill a large pot with water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and a splash of oil, and bring the water to a boil. Add the orzo and simmer for 9 to 11 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's cooked al dente. Drain and pour into a large bowl.

  3. Whisk together the lemon juice, 8 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Pour over the hot pasta and stir well.

  4. Meanwhile, place the prawns on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine and spread out in a single layer. Roast for 5 to 6 minutes, until the prawns are cooked through. Don't overcook!

  5. Add the prawns to the orzo and then add the spring onions, dill, parsley, cucumber, onion, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Toss well. Add the feta and stir carefully. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavours to blend, or refrigerate overnight.

  6. If refrigerated, taste again for seasoning and bring back to room temperature before serving.
