Instructions
Preheat the broiler to high. (To broil the tomatoes and shrimp.)
Prep: Wash and dry all produce. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Soak the skewers in a shallow dish of water. Zest, then juice the lemon. Mince or grate the garlic. Roughly chop the basil. Peel, pit and cube the avocado. In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with a drizzle of oil, garlic and 2 tbsp lemon juice (DO: measure out and double for 4 people).
Roast the tomatoes: Halve the tomatoes. Arrange them on a foil-lined baking sheet, cut-side up. Broil in the centre of the oven until they start to turn golden, 9-12 min (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!)
Cook the orzo: Meanwhile, add the orzo to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 9-10 min.
Make the orzo salad: In a large bowl, toss the avocado with the lemon zest, half the basil, remaining lemon juice and a drizzle of oil.
Broil the shrimp: Remove the roasted tomatoes from the baking sheet and add to the bowl. Thread the shrimp onto the skewers and place them on the baking sheet. (TIP: Or broil them un-skewered to save time!) Broil in the centre of the oven until the shrimp turns pink, 3-4 min.
Finish and serve: Stir the orzo into the salad. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the shrimp skewers on a bed of orzo salad. Sprinkle with remaining basil. Enjoy!
