Shrimp Linguine in a Tomato and White Wine Sauce
A quick and easy shrimp linguine in a tomato and white wine sauce that is nice and light and healthy and yet full of flavour.

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.

    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…)

    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!

    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.
