Recipe review: Lemon Orzo Salad with Asparagus and Tomatoes

I found this recipe on pinterest the other day and had to make it.  It looked and sounded delicious.  I made it tonight. It was fairly easy (although there were more pots/bowls to wash than I wanted).  I added shrimp to it because today is Friday, and it's Lent, and I can't eat meat.  I have to say, I really liked it.  The lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic were perfect.  It gave it a really good flavor.  Plus, the parmesan cheese- delish!  My kids weren't thrilled with the tomatoes or the asparagus but they are three and 20 months old, and I didn't expect them to be.  I ended up using 16 oz. of the orzo pasta (instead of the 12 oz. that the recipe called for) because I didn't want to keep the remaining four ounces in my pantry.  Besides, I have a feeling I'm going to really enjoy the leftovers tomorrow.  Yum.  I would definitely recommend this recipe.  I think chicken would be good with it too.
