GREEK-STYLE PASTA WITH SHRIMP



Greek-Style Pasta with Shrimp image

Categories     Pasta     Shellfish     Sauté     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Feta     Shrimp     Artichoke     Summer     Bon Appétit     Small Plates

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup olive oil
4 teaspoons minced garlic
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, deveined
1 1/2 cups drained canned artichoke hearts, chopped
1 1/2 cups crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup chopped seeded tomatoes
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried
12 ounces angel hair pasta or linguine

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds. Add shrimp and sauté until almost cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add artichokes, feta, tomatoes, lemon juice, parsley and oregano and sauté until shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain. Transfer pasta to large bowl.
  • Add shrimp mixture to pasta and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your pasta salad. Use fresh shrimp, crisp vegetables, and flavorful olives.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked until they are opaque and pink, but not overcooked. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the pasta salad together. Use a dressing that is light and tangy, with a good balance of acidity and sweetness.
  • Don't overcrowd the pasta: When cooking the pasta, make sure to use a large pot so that the pasta has plenty of room to move around. Overcrowding the pasta will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Chill the pasta salad before serving: Chilling the pasta salad allows the flavors to meld together and also makes it more refreshing. You can chill the pasta salad for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

Conclusion:

Greek pasta salad with shrimp and olives is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of fresh shrimp, crisp vegetables, and flavorful olives, this pasta salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
