I was looking for a recipe to use some of the abundant fresh basil I grow in pots on my back deck, so I modeled this recipe after dishes I've had in local restaurants. It's easy, fresh, and colorful-and a very quick dinner. -CL Reader Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil |
cooking spray |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined |
2 cups chopped plum tomato |
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil |
1/3 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives |
2 tablespoons capers, drained |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
4 cups hot cooked angel hair pasta (about 8 ounces uncooked pasta) |
1/4 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté 30 seconds. Add shrimp; sauté 1 minute. Add tomato and basil; reduce heat, and simmer 3 minutes or until tomato is tender. Stir in kalamata olives, capers, and black pepper.
2. Combine shrimp mixture and pasta in a large bowl; toss well. Top with cheese.
