Creamy Shrimp Pasta Recipe

This Creamy Shrimp Pasta Recipe with White Wine is the perfect combination of flavors and textures. I love how the creamy feta cheese sauce is paired with the sweet and briny shrimp, and the addition of tomato, basil, and chili pepper flakes really takes it to the next level.

Equipment

1 oven-safe pan

Ingredients

1½ lbs shrimp medium sized shrimp, shelled and deveined, tail portion left intact.
2 tsp chopped garlic
5 tbsp olive oil
1 lb tomatoes skinned and cube
½ cup dry white wine
½ cup fresh basil chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
12 ounces feta cheese crumbled
1 tsp chili pepper flakes
salt & pepper to taste
8 - 10 ounces penne pasta
Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°

Prep Shrimp and Tomatoes

Peel and devein shrimp. I buy the shelled and deveined shrimp, so I skip this step.
To blanch the tomatoes, bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the tomatoes and let them boil for around two minutes. Take them out of the water and rinse them in cold water and peel off the skin. Chop the peeled tomatoes and save them for later.

Make Sauce

Saute garlic in half the oil, add tomatoes and cook for about one minute in an oven-safe pan. Add wine, basil, oregano, chili flakes, salt, and pepper, and simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Shrimp

In another pan, saute shrimp in remaining oil until just pink. It’s ok if it’s not all the way cooked.

Combine Ingredients

Sprinkle feta over the shrimp, pour tomato sauce over all, and bake uncovered at 400° for 10 minutes until bubbly.

Cook Pasta

Cook pasta and drain, rinse, and set in a large serving bowl. Pour shrimp and sauce over the pasta, toss, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
