Menu #5

Citrus Avocado Lettuce Salad
Shrimp with Feta Cheese and Orzo
Pears with Raspberries Sauce
    Citrus and avocados go so well together.   You can cut a lovely navel orange to give this salad a very fresh taste, but if you're in a hurry, the citrus in a jar will give you a lovely salad as well.
     The Shrimp and Feta with Orzo is definitely a crowd pleaser.  We had a similar recipe which had the shrimp on spaghetti but in this version the blending of sauce, cheese, seasonings and orzo, a lovely little fat pasta, works much better.

     ​The canned pears can be lovely, but small.  If you have time to poach pears before the dinner
they will be larger and have a little more flavor.  However the cream cheese filling is great and the flambeing the raspberry sauce definitely adds a festive air.
