Ingredients

Directions

Step 1: Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.

Step 2: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3: Add halved grape tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes until they begin to break down and release their juices.

Step 4: Add cooked shrimp to the skillet and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5: Add drained pasta to the skillet along with lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh basil. Toss to combine.

Step 6: If needed, add reserved pasta water a little at a time to create a light sauce.

Step 7: Remove from heat and fold in crumbled feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8: Serve immediately, garnished with additional basil and feta if desired.

Chef's Tip: Don't overcook the shrimp - they're done when they turn pink and opaque, usually just 2-3 minutes per side. Reserve some pasta water to help the sauce coat the noodles.
