tuscan shrimp
Another pleasant accident. I needed to use up a lovely orange bell pepper and yellow squash for dinner. I'm amazed that it was so delicious. As I mentioned in the photo, I'm dieting, so I didn't make the pasta shells for myself, but really, it would be equally perfect served over pasta shells.

How To Make tuscan shrimp
-
Step 1Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta shells and cook to al dente. Remove from heat, and drain. Toss with olive oil and a half cup of finely grated Parmesan. Set aside.
-
Step 2While pasta is cooking: In another large pot or Dutch oven, add olive oil, chopped veggies, and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat until they begin to liquefy - about 5 to 10 minutes or so. (I used a Dutch oven on the stove.)
-
Step 3Add shrimp, red pepper flakes, and oregano, folding everything over onto itself until the shrimp are done. A thin soup will form as the vegetables release their liquid.
-
Step 4Stir in salt. Tasting should be not quite salty enough as the Feta will add its own salt.
-
Step 5Stir in the Feta and grated Parmesan until the feta disappears into the broth.
-
Step 6Put a serving of prepared shells in a bowl. Then add the shrimp mixture with plenty of broth.
-
Step 7Serve with a simple salad.
