Author Notes
I used to make a pasta recipe with shrimp, tomatoes,
feta, and oregano. Here's my updated salad version. Using cooked
shrimp really makes this quick, as would leftover take-out rice
in place of the quinoa. (Not sure where the original pasta
dish came from...don't think it was original.) —Alyce Morgan
