Greek Style Shrimp with Angel Hair Pasta
I had to repost this as it was scrumptious! … I have been trying to replicate the delicious meals I had in Greece. This is inspired by all the delicious ingredients one gets to taste in Greek cuisine- like, garlic, dill, feta, etc.. The topping for this pasta is absolutely delicious…
- tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup pancetta, chopped
- 1 medium shallot, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 pound medium shrimp, cleaned and deveined, sprinkled with salt
- 2 cups fresh tomato sauce
- Salt
- ½ pound angel hair pasta, cooked al dente
Heat a frying pan with olive oil. Add the pancetta and sauté on medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shallot and garlic on medium heat and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and brown on both sides for a minute each. Take out of pan and transfer to a plate. Add the tomato sauce and bring to a boil and simmer for about 15 minutes. Add the shrimp back to the sauce. Cook the shrimp for another minute or so and check for seasonings. Serve on top of angel hair pasta.
Topping
- 3 green onions, chopped
- ½ cup parsley, chopped
- 1/3 cup dill, chopped
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
Mix the green onions, parsley and dill in a small bowl and sprinkle over the pasta. Sprinkle the cheese and serve.
