Shrimp and Orzo Stuffed Tomatoes Recipe

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This was such a yummy and filling salad...I had made it for lunch and it was fantastic !!! Really very quick to put together too. And I will say it is a must for using fresh herbs, the basil and sage being fresh is wonderful, especially the basil. I did cut the recipe in half for just the two of us. Good stuff Rita....thanks for sharing this great recipe.Update: I had forgotten to mention Rita that there is no mention of what to do with the celery so perhaps you could correct that..I had just added it in raw when stuffing the tomato to keep it in the crunchy state.
