Shrimp Salsa Verde Orzo Salad

• 1 lb. raw shrimp (approx. 41-50 ct), peeled, deveined, tail off
• 2 cups orzo, uncooked
• 1 Tbls La Preferida Adobo Seasoning
• 2 Tbls La Preferida Olive Oil
• 1 packet La Preferida Organic Fish Taco Seasoning

For the salad:

• 1 ½ cups La Preferida Salsa Verde
• 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
• 1 small seedless cucumber, sliced
• 15 oz can La Preferida Low Sodium Kidney Beans, rinsed and drained
• 4 oz can La Preferida Organic Diced Green Chiles
• 8 oz. fresh Mozzarella cut into small chunks
• ¼ small red onion, sliced

Toppings:

• 1 large lime, juiced
• ½ bunch cilantro, chopped

Bring water to a boil and add Adobo seasoning. Cook orzo according to package instructions but take 1 minute off of the cooking time. (This will keep your pasta al dente for the salad and prevent overcooking.)

When pasta is done, remove from heat and drain. Rinse in cold water and allow to cool down. Stir in 2 Tbls in olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Prepare shrimp according to shrimp taco directions on La Preferida Fish Taco Seasoning packet. Cool down.

In a large bowl, combine orzo, shrimp, and salad ingredients. Add fresh lime juice and cilantro. Mix well and serve.
