Oven-baked shrimp retain more flavor and acquire a unique flavor that distinguishes them from boiled shrimp. However, even when cooking them in the oven, it's important not to overcook them and bake them just until they're no longer translucent. Stir them into cooked orzo pasta, adding plenty of fresh dill, parsley, and green onions, finely chopped cucumber, lemon juice, and feta cheese. The pasta is very refreshing and juicy. Perfect for a hot day or a picnic. You can also make it ahead and refrigerate it. It will be even more delicious the next day.
