Step one

Place shrimp in large shallow dish. Pour 1/2 cup (125 mL) of VH® Sweet Thai Chili Sauce over shrimp, turning so that all shrimp are well coated. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Step two

Reserving sauce from dish, thread shrimp onto 4 skewers.
Step three

Spray grill with PAM® Grilling Spray; heat to medium-high heat. Grill skewers, basting with reserved sauce during first 5 minutes only, until shrimp are opaque, approximately 10 minutes.
Step four

Meanwhile, in large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook pasta for 10 minutes. Reserving 1/2 cup (125 mL) of cooking water, drain pasta. Transfer to heated bowl. Immediately stir in tomatoes, feta cheese, remaining VH® Sweet Thai Chili Sauce and 2 tbsp. (16 g) of parsley. Stir in reserved cooking water to moisten if necessary.
Step five

Remove shrimp from skewers. Arrange on top of orzo. Sprinkle with remaining chopped fresh parsley.
