1 bell pepper, diced
3 Lebanese cucumbers, cut into small pieces
6 to 8 Quebec strawberries, thinly sliced
1 bag (400 g) Nordic shrimp, thawed

🍳 Preparation

Bring a pot of water to a boil, then cook the orzo according to the package directions.

Meanwhile, cut the green onions, bell pepper, cucumbers, strawberries, and mint, then place everything in a large mixing bowl.

Once the orzo is cooked, drain it and rinse it thoroughly under cold water.

Drain it well again, then add it to the bowl.

Drain the shrimp, pat them dry lightly, then add them to the mixture.

Add the lemon zest and juice, the mayonnaise, our Cajun blend, our Italian blend, and freshly ground pepper.

Mix well so all the ingredients are evenly coated.
