This pasta with shrimp and feta is a flavor-packed weeknight or special occasion meal. My husband grew up eating this dish and it’s his all-time favorite. Garlicky shrimp mixed with a feta packed sherry tomato sauce served over perfectly cooked pasta – what’s not to love?

My husband grew up eating this meal and it’s his all-time favorite. Every time I make this past with shrimp and feta he devours 2 giant plates and then sits in his chair so full he can barely move. While I’m not a fan of overeating it’s so easy to do with this dish. You guys – it’s so damn good.

It starts with a really simple sauce made of crushed tomatoes, Italian herbs, dry sherry, parsley, onions and feta cheese. THEN you cook up some shrimp in butter and garlic and throw it all together. It’s pasta heaven.

Fo. Sho.

There is some simmering that needs to be done with this dish but for the most part, it’s pretty hands off which makes it an acceptable weekday and weekend meal. PLUS the smells that come from this dish are so irresistible you’ll want to make it all. the. time.

PLUS who doesn’t love feta cheese and shrimp? It’s so good.

I like to serve this sauce over al dente linguine but any pasta will do. I think it’s fun to twist my pasta so I’m a fan of stringy pasta. Also, confession. When I’m lazy about my pasta twirling I just cut it all up and shovel it into my mouth. I’m the most un-Italian person on earth.

Oh, and make this dish easier on yourself by buying shrimp that is already cleaned and deveined. One of my least favorite tasks is cleaning shrimp. It’s gross, time-consuming and just a hassle. I want to get into the kitchen and make dinner without a ton of work.

I know you all agree #teamcleanedshrimp

This pasta with shrimp and feta also makes a great Valentine’s day meal. It’s simple enough to not cause a lot of cooking stress but special enough to seal the deal for an important holiday or birthday meal.
