Savory Seafood Delight: Shrimp and Feta Pasta with a Spicy Twist
  • Prep Time

    25 mins

Ingredients

  • 5 oz of spaghetti
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil
  • 2 tbsp of finely diced red onion
  • 6 oz of precooked frozen shrimp
  • 1 tsp of Espelette pepper powder, adjust to preference
  • 5 oz of crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tbsp of freshly chopped parsley
  • 1 tbsp of freshly chopped mint
  • 2 tsp of freshly chopped chives

Step 1

Start by bringing a generously salted pot of water to a lively boil. Drop in the spaghetti and give it an occasional stir, allowing it to reach that perfect al dente texture - usually about 11 minutes is all it takes. Once ready, drain the spaghetti thoroughly.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, in a spacious skillet over medium heat, warm up some olive oil. Sauté the onion until it's nice and soft, which should take around 2 minutes. Next, introduce the frozen shrimp and a touch of Espelette pepper, then lower the heat to a gentle medium-low. Let the shrimp thaw and cook through, which typically needs 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 3

Combine the drained spaghetti with the shrimp mixture and crumble in some creamy feta cheese. Increase the heat to a lively medium-high setting. Toss everything together until the feta has beautifully melted, forming a luscious sauce that coats the spaghetti. Once done, take the skillet off the heat and fold in a fragrant mix of parsley, mint, and chives until all the flavors blend harmoniously. Serve this delightful dish by dividing it between two plates.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your shrimp fresh by storing them in a sealed bag or container with a damp paper towel to maintain their moisture and prevent them from drying out.
  2. 2. Store your feta cheese in its original packaging or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to keep it from absorbing other odors in the fridge.
