Over the last while I have really enjoyed a number of Greek shrimp and tomato dishes such as shrimp saganaki . More recently I came across another one in the form of a shrimp pasta on Kalofagas and it quickly made it to my meal plan. This recipe is really easy to make and you can tell that it will taste great just by looking at the ingredients list. The tomato sauce is a pretty simple one consisting of onions, garlic, some white wine, the tomatoes, oregano, and of course lots of fresh herbs. This pasta would be perfect to make with fresh ripe tomatoes were they in season but in the middle of winter canned tomatoes worked well. I had high hopes for this dish and it did not disappoint! The shrimp pasta in the tomato sauce was so good! Given that all of the recipes that this one reminded me of added feta to the shrimp and tomato sauce combo, I could not resist topping the pasta with some crumbled feta.

Shrimp is one of my favorite seafood choices – this looks absolutely yummy!
What a lovely recipe. I stopped by to wish you a Happy New Year. I hope 2010 brings you health, happiness and prosperity.
Kevin, often the simpler dishes are the tastiest and they benefit from not being fussed too much with ingredients.
Great looking plate, delighted you enjoyed it.
I really love that you love shrimp so much! We are SO definitely going to make this in a few days and I'll let you know how I like it 🙂 (am sure we'll love it but it'll be our first recipe to try from your blog, just found you recently and you never fail to make me salivate…)
That looks absolutely delicious!
Cheers,
Rosa

You can't go wrong with shrimp and pasta. Yum!!
Happy New Year Kevin. Here's to a great 2010!!
This sounds so wonderful!
This sounds delicious, I make something very similar, next time I will definitely be adding some fresh oregano.
Happy New Year. The dish sounds delicious.
This makes my taste buds sing!
I love simple pasta dishes like this. Sometimes the classic flavors just don't need embellishment.
Great touch to add the feta to finish the dish! This recipe looks so fresh and delicious. It screams eat me!
With the feta added, it's a kind of reconstructed saganaki. I like that. At this time of year here in the Northeast, tomatoes aren't the only challenge; good tasting fresh herbs can be a challenge, too. I'm so spoiled by my summer herb garden!
Thank you so much for sharing! That Shrimp Linguine looks excellent. I'm a pretty big fan of shrimp myself!! Nice – I love getting cookbooks – I find that I rarely buy them myself.
Best Regards,
I make a version of this that is one of my favourite easy dinners. I add a little cream at the end to finish it off and give it some richness.
yum!
One of my favorite dishes! Anything with shrimp is a winner.
That looks really really good. makes me want to reach out and grab some.
Happy New Year Keven!
This looks great!
Thanks for all of your recipes, Kevin! I hope you have a wonderful 2010 and I look forward to reading more of your delicious creations!

What a funny name for a blog. That's also just about the size of my kitchen.
This is a gorgeous dish. And it sounds as though it comes together pretty quickly – always a bonus! Great recipe, it's making me hungry!
I seriously don't eat enough shrimp! A light tomato & seafood pasta is definitely one of my faavourites.
I'm definitely going to try this one! So simple, delicious and colorful. Thank you.
Mouth. Watering! Looks wonderful!
Your shrimp dishes always look amazing Kevin.

새우도 보이고 맛있어 보이네요 ^^
Just a white cooking wine?
Anonymous: I usually go with a white that I enjoy drinking and then have a glass with the meal but a cooking wine will work.
I'm Italian…this looks delicious! Nice blend of ingredients!
