ORZO SALAD WITH SHRIMP AND DOUBLE PEPPERS

Orzo Salad With Shrimp and Double Peppers image

I've had the recipe for many years and it always receives raves and recipe requests. It has a tantalizing oriental flavor. Colorful, elegant, and easy to prepare. I tend to cut down on the orzo and increase more of the "good stuff".
