With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil and blend until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the vinaigrette over the orzo mixture and stir well to combine.

• Heat grill to high. Brush shrimp with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for approximately 2 minutes per side or until just cooked through. Divide orzo salad among 4 take-out containers or plates and top with 4 shrimp. Garnish with additional dill.

Steps:

• For the shrimp: Combine the harissa powder, turbinado sugar, baking soda, granulated garlic, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Toss the shrimp with the dry spices. Skewer and place on a rack in the fridge for 1 hour.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates and grill the shrimp until charred and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes a side.
• For the sweet Greek dressing: Whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl. Slowly stream in the oil to emulsify. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
• For the salad: Arrange the lettuce, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes and Pickled Red Onions on a platter, then drizzle with the sweet Greek dressing and top with the grilled shrimp skewers. Serve.
• Simmer the vinegar, salt, sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium pot until dissolved. Add the onions and turn off the heat. Let sit until cool. Transfer to resealable container, then place in the refrigerator overnight.

Steps:

• For the sweet Greek dressing: Whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard, oregano and garlic in a bowl. Slowly stream in the olive oil while whisking. Add salt and pepper to taste. Measure out 1/2 cup of the dressing for marinating the chicken. Set aside the remaining dressing for drizzling on the salad.
• For the chicken: Put the chicken in a nonreactive container, pour the reserved 1/2 cup sweet Greek dressing over it and toss to coat. Marinate the chicken, refrigerated, for 2 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• Oil the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the chicken until golden on each side and the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F, 7 to 8 minutes per side. Let rest before slicing.
• For the salad: Brush each romaine half with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on high on the cut sides until slightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Place a seared romaine half on a serving plate. Line up some tomatoes, feta, olives, cucumbers, onions and sliced chicken atop the romaine. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Drizzle with the sweet Greek dressing. Garnish with cracked black pepper and sea salt and serve.

Steps:

• Whisk oil, seafood seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a glass or ceramic bowl. Add shrimp and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• While the shrimp is marinating, toss together salad greens, tomatoes, cucumber slices, and walnuts in a bowl; place in the refrigerator. Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl for the dressing; set aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove shrimp from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Cook the shrimp on the preheated grill until bright pink on the outside and meat is opaque, about 2 minutes per side.
• Put shrimp on top of the salad greens mixture. Pour dressing over top.

Steps:

• Put all ingredients (except the dressing) in a large bowl and marinate for 15 - 20 minutes.
• Thread shrimp on metal skewers ( or well soaked bamboo) and grill for 5-6 minutes turning often (they will turn red and opaque when done).
• Serve over rice (or better yet pilaf) with lemon wedges, pitted black olives and cherry tomatoes and drizzle with the dressing.
