Ingredients
8 ounces dry mini shell pasta
Olive oil cooking spray
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cloves minced garlic
16 Greek olives, pitted and quartered
1 (12 or 14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, quartered
1 cup small cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
4 ounces crumbled fat-free or regular feta cheese
Directions
- Cook pasta al dente according to package instructions. Rinse, drain and set aside.
- In a large nonstick skillet coated with olive oil spray, add the shrimp and garlic and cook until the shrimp turns salmon-colored. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the pasta, cooled shrimp, olives, artichoke hearts and tomatoes.
- Season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together oil, zest, juice, vinegar and parsley. Pour over shrimp mixture. Toss thoroughly to coat. Add the crumbled feta and gently toss.
- Serve it up Suzy-Style:
- For an outing or picnic, I like to make this seem like gourmet takeout so I put it in small aluminum containers with clear lids. You can get them at the store or from restaurant supply companies online. I place it in and put cute labels on the clear top and write the name of the recipe on it.
