This is one of my go-to meals to bring when people have new babies (or when we have last minute dinner guests) because it's super easy, quick, simple.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
1 pound of medium shrimp
3 T fresh lemon juice
1 pound of bowtie pasta
4 oz feta cheese
Green onions, chopped
Not shown: garlic and small package of pine nuts
Cook the entire box of pasta until tender. While its cooking, peel and sauté the shrimp with some olive oil and garlic until pink (thaw the shrimp the night before by putting it in the fridge. If you forget it only takes 10 minutes or so under cold running water).
Mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper in a small bowl. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta and shrimp. Mix in the olive oil mixture. Stir in the green onions, pine nuts, and feta cheese. We eat it warm but it tastes fine cold, too. Serves 6.
Yum!! Do you toast the pine nuts first, or throw them in raw? (Or maybe you get yours already toasted?)
ReplyDeleteSneak in some chives next time!!! This is almost identical to one of my go-to's as well :)
