Mediterranean Shrimp Pasta

Ingredients

  • 8 oz angel hair pasta
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 lbs medium raw shrimp peeled and de-veined
  • 3 garlic cloves sliced thin
  • 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeeze
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup feta crumbled
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • At the same time, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stir so the slivers don’t brown. You want to infuse the oil with garlic.
  • Season shrimp with salt & pepper and add to the skillet. Cook for approximately 1 minute on each side. Remove shrimp and garlic and set aside.
  • In the same skillet add white wine, lemon juice, and dried basil. Mix together cornstarch and chicken broth and stir into the wine mixture. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  • Add spinach and cook until wilted. Toss in the cherry tomatoes, cooked shrimp and garlic and pasta, cook for another minute.
  • Serve pasta with feta cheese crumbled on top.
