This recipe is so easy!

Mediterranean Shrimp Pasta is just shrimp, tomatoes, and fresh herbs, but it tastes like you’re getting away with something! Another great part is that it only takes one pot to boil the noodles in and a 9×9 casserole dish! Minimal mess equals minimal cleanup! I think the fresh, light flavors make it a great choice for one of those summer evenings when it’s almost too hot to want to eat. Try it out and see if you agree!

First things first,

melt the butter and pour it all over the bottom of the dish. Substitute butter with olive oil if you don’t want to use it. I would use 2-3 tbsp instead of the 4 tbsp of butter. Honestly, though, I can’t think of anything that goes better with shrimp than butter!

Next, throw in your peeled shrimp, minced garlic, lemon juice, and sprinkle with pepper. I don’t add any salt because the feta cheese adds all the saltiness you’ll need!

The next step to make this Mediterranean Shrimp Pasta

is to rinse the tomatoes and cut them in half, placing them all over the shrimp’s top. Then sprinkle your chopped herbs over the tomatoes and cover the whole thing with feta. It’s ready for the oven! Seriously, it’s that easy!

If you don’t have, or can’t find fresh parsley/oregano you can substitute 1 tbsp of Italian seasoning instead. Just mix it in your chopped tomatoes before you put them in.

Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, or until the feta cheese is golden.

You can serve the Mediterranean Shrimp Pasta over fettuccine, penne, or spaghetti.

It’s so delicious and versatile. I have even put it over rice, and it’s great!  Before serving, top with chopped green onions and more fresh parsley. You may also want some crusty, rustic sourdough bread to soak up the deliciously light lemon butter sauce from the bottom of your bowl! I hope you enjoy it!
