Mediterranean Shrimp Pasta

Mediterranean Shrimp pasta is definitely for all Mediterranean food lovers ! Juicy delicious, quick to make and also low in fat dinner recipe.

Mediterranean Shrimp Pasta

Our family loves all kinds of cuisine but Mediterranean is on the top list. All the dishes are so colorful and bursting with flavor.

Pasta dishes are always a winner in our house but Mediterranean plus Shrimp plus Pasta equals family joy at dinner time !

The juicier the Tomatoes and the fresher the Basil is the only secret here. I always try to get hold of Italian Mini Tomatoes which is not only juicy, but sweeter than other kinds of baby Tomatoes as well.

You might notice that I have a heavy hand with the Feta. Feel free to use less (or more if you so wish!).

Simple reason for that, we are addicted to cheese, any kind and the more the better.

Yum, I'm definitely "in" with this one. My home-grown mini tomatoes are just getting ripe, so I think the time is right. Gonna put shrimp on the list and give it a whirl this week:)
