Linguine pasta and sauteed shrimp are bathed in a basil-flavored fire roasted tomato sauce and sprinkled with feta cheese.
I have given 5 star ratings before, but I have to say that this leads them all! Fire roasted tomatoes was pure genious especially when combined with the feta cheese. Because of the salt content in both the tomatoes and the feta cheese, I opted not to add any additional salt. It was not missed, in fact, it was perfect. For a double recipe I used 3 cans of the tomatoes and a pound and a half of the larger (21-25 count) shrimp. Will I make this again? , oh yeah.
Read MoreTastes good. Don't add extra salt due to the shrimp, tomatoes, and feta. Feta is a very salty cheese. For those who can't find the fire roasted tomatoes, Safeway carries Hunt's brand, but I prefer Muir Glen Brand. They are organic, and have a wonderful roasted tomato flavor, deeper than the Hunt's brand. Also, they don't have that canned tomato taste as much as the Hunt's brand does. They can be found in your grocers organic foods section or at a health food stores. They are pricey, but well worth it. It's the only canned tomato I use.

This dish was spectacular. It tasted like I was eating at a very nice italian restaurant, but it was so simple to make. This is something I will make again and again! Everybody should try this one. I made it with brushetta and it was a fabulous meal.
This was an excellent recipe! A welcome change. I did use a few more shrimp and cut them in half to better distribute them. It made far more than two servings. At least 3 if not 4 depending on the appetite. I did have a hard time finding the fire roasted tomatoes, but I'm glad I did. This would have been very bland without them. Thanks!!!!
I make a very similar recipe. It has been my go to shrimp pasta recipe for years. I saute a small onion in olive oil, then add the garlic cloves for one minute. Then I add the fire roasted tomatoes, 1/2 c. white wine, fresh chopped oregano and some red pepper flakes. I simmer this together for 15 minutes or so. After the pasta is done, I add the shrimp to the sauce and cover the pot. When they have turned pink, I crumble in 4 oz. feta and stir well. Pour it over the pasta, garnish with fresh parsley and serve. Key is not to overcook the shrimp. Cheese does not need to melt, just be distributed well in sauce.

wow! I am 13 and i made this for my parents (as i love cooking and pretty much cook everything) and they both said it was the best meal I has ever made. i made the recipe yield 4 servings and used 3 servings of those little baby frozen shrimp amnd the fun pink striped noodles i bought at a specialty store. next time i will use more shrimp or only cook the 3 servings my family needs! and everyone should try this! it was like a restaraunt in italy and with fresh toasted garlic bread it is even better!!
YUM! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! First off, this is SUPER EASY - and really good. I, too had to hunt for the fire roasted tomatoes and they are worth it. I also used a lot more shrimp, frozen raw. Unless you can find the really huge (and expensive) big prawns you really need to use a pound. I also used butter instead of olive oil to saute the garlic. I also used more like a cup of feta and put it in the pasta when it was really hot so when I mixed everything up it gave it more of a creamy texture but the flavor of the feta came through. Also used dried basil instead of fresh and that was fine too. My husband said "this is like a restaurant meal" and it took me 15 minutes!
This is a great little whip up recipe. I couldn't find the fire roasted tomatoes, but subsititued them with a chilli tomato concotion and everyone is still raving about it. I also finely diced up some red (spanish) onion and half a carrot for a little more flavouring and a little chilli... Yum! =))
This recipe was absolutely delicious. The flavors complemented one another perfectly and the shrimp was an excellent addition to the pallet. We used 12 shrimp and cut them in half to ensure they lasted longer. I would probably recommend adding more shrimp (maybe 20?) & cutting them in half. The easy-peel shrimp were not costly & were very good. Another good addition to the recipe would be olives. This recipe received 5 stars because my husband just couldn't stop raving about it!
This was amazing! Of all the recipes I have tried on here so far, this is the one the family keeps asking for. I did use dried basil because I couldn't find any fresh basil in the store. When I told my husband it was fire roasted tomatoes, he thought it was going to be spicy but it's not at all. I love the way the flavors of the tomato and the feta intermingle. This is an all around great recipe. I highly recommend it! If you or someone you know doesn't care for shrimp, you might try substituting for chicken pieces. I did this for a friend and it still came out great.
Wow, this is SO good. The feta, fire-roasted tomatoes, shrimp and garlic complement each other perfectly. I maybe added a bit too much feta -- it has such a strong flavor that you don't need much to complement this dish. The only other thing I noticed is that there is quite a bit of juice in the canned tomatoes -- I will let my sauce simmer a little longer next time so that it's not watery when I pour it on the pasta. I will be making this again and again!
Wow...sums it up. So easy and quick too. I increased the recipe for four people, using 2lbs. of extra large shrimp and 2 cans of fire roasted tomatoes. Also added a big wooden spoonful of pickled jalapeños. The feta cheese on top was a great addition...creamy and spicy. My husband said this one is a keeper. Thanks Amy.
This was really good. I loved how the feta melted into the tomato juice and made kind of a creamy sauce. It was great with garlic bread and broccoli. I'll be making this for my husband when he gets home in June.
An excellent weeknight meal -- tasty and easy! I like having sauce to dip my bread in so used two cans of fire roasted tomatoes (one regular, one with chilis). I let the tomatoes simmer on low for about 30 minutes. Then I sauted the shrimp in olive oil, 4 cloves minced garlic and heaping 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Once pink, I poured the contents of the shrimp saute into the tomato sauce and stirred in the feta. The suace was thick, creamy and carried a bit of a punch.
Had to give it only 3 stars because of all the tweaking it needed; as other reviewers said, it needed more spice. Used the red pepper flakes, oregano, and wine as suggested, but only after making as directed and found it lacked flavor, so I did give the original recipe a chance.
A quick, easy dinner with items I usually have on hand. I may have boiled a little too much pasta, because I was wanting more sauce. I may try again using some wine in the sauce as another reviewer suggested. My husband ended up adding some homemade ground pepper spice to his, because it didn't have quite enough kick. (We like spicy). I still think it was good! A tip for fresh basil - chop a whole bunch, measure by the Tb and fill a few cubes in an ice cube tray, then add water to the trays. Pop out the frozen 'basil cubes' and store in the freezer in a freezer Ziplock. Then you always have chopped, fresh basil. (Very easy to add to soups as well).
I used a pound of whole wheat pasta, pound of 26-30 count Prawns, 5 oz Lite Feta plus about 3/4 cup brocolli with like amount of mixed Shitake and Oyster mushrooms. Like "intelligentperuser's" review on this recipe I didn't add additional salt and I only added a second can of Fire Roasted Tomatoes, not 3 cans. I used more Garlic and Basil than called for as well...go figger!!! A nice recipe for any occasion.
This is awesome.....delicious and fast. I cooked for house guests and they made me print out recipe for them. This is the first time I've used fire roasted tomatoes and what a difference! I will never use another kind.
Super yummy dish! I add sliced kalamata olives and crushed red pepper flakes to this instead of the black pepper. Be careful how much salt you add as feta is very salty and so are canned tomatoes. Serve with crusty bread and a spicy red wine and you will be in heaven! Impress your guests with this elegant but easy dish!
I loved this quick and delicious recipe. I added some fresh parsley and lemon zest and I could not find fire roasted tomatos so used diced tomatoes with garlic, basil, and oregano added. I made recipe according to directions and def came out with 4 servings with 1 left over and added double if not triple the amt of shrimp and they were the large ones. My kids loved it. I served along side garlic cheese bread and ceasar salad. Will def make again.
I followed the recipe to a T!!!!! I liked it but felt like something was missing. I might add green olives or maybe saute onions with the garlic. Would make again with some small adjustments!
I am not big on tomatoes but this dish was very good. I didn't have as big of shrimp so I just dumped a half bag of medium alad shrimp in (we love shrimp). Definitely a keeper in my recipe box.
WOW! One of the best meals I've made in a while. Easy too! I chose a spicy tuscan tomato sauce as I could not find the fire roasted kind.
This is a wonderful recipe! I used 1lb shrimp, and a lot more basil. I also added crushed red chiles. I put the feta in the sauce before the pasta to let it melt down a bit. The only thing I would change would be to cook a little less pasta. I think 1/3 lb would do, but Im a gal that likes a lot of sauce :)
So much flavor for such a simple recipe! Makes a yummy sauce. Perfect recipe for a busy weeknight-I cheated and used precooked shrimp. I'll be making this often!
This was very good - light but flavorful and filling. I used more shrimp than called for (I didn't measure, just kept tossing in handfuls) and probably extra feta, too. ;) I couldn't find fire-roasted tomatoes so I just used italian-spiced diced ones... still delicious, and definitely a keeper!
Made this last night and it was a delish - fast dish. I made a pound of angel hair and used the Fire Roasted Tomatoes with Green Chile from Trader Joes. While sauteing the garlic - then shrimp - I added about a half cup of white wine then added the tomatoes and heated thru. I poured the mixture over the pasta in a large pasta bowl. Well the pasta just soaked up the sauce.... So next time I may up the wine to a cup or even reserve some pasta water to mix in. Other then that - really good dish! Thanks for the idea of adding feta to pasta!!!
Good, easy recipe. Nothing outstanding, but good flavor. The fire-roasted tomatoes are a must!
Followed the recipe to a "T" and it was very good. Next time I will play with it a little bit to add some of my personal favorite ingredients. This is such a nice & quick recipe to have.
I use allrecipes.com all the time, but this is the first time I have taken the time to rate a recipe. I thought this recipe was excellent. Not only was it delicious, but it was so simple to make. It's sure to become a regular in our household.
Was pretty good. Might have made for a better side dish than the main course, though.
No shrimp for me please, but it is still excellent. Made with home made fire roasted tomatoes
The best pasta ever!! If I could give this recipe 10 stars I would, my husband actually said that was the best pasta he has ever had, it was so full of flavor, I could not find fire roasted tomatoes, so I made my own, I cut the tomatoe in 1/4's, brushed them with a bit of olive oil and broiled them until they turned black, chopped them up and they were great. I will not waste time searching for them in a can. I did add a bit more olive oil as I was afraid there wouldn't be enough sauce also added more basil and feta, it was soooo good. you must try it.
Great recipe. SOOO quick and easy to make. The taste is definately restaurant quality. I added lots more shrimp and fresh basil as well as some capers. I also used tomato and basil feta, since that is what I had on hand. Thanks so much!!
The only thing I did different was to add some sliced mushrooms to the oil and garlic. Also I used coodked shrimp so I added them at the end with the tomatoes. We would make this again.
Fabulous recipe as-is! Definitely restaurant quality. It really is ready in less than 30 minutes and is incredibly easy to make. I added a little (1/4 cup) white wine with my olive oil. Next time I will also use one more can of tomatoes for more sauce. I will be adding this to my make often recipes.
I followed the recipe exactly, and this was simple, but good. It wasn't as great as other reviewers led me to believe though.
This is delicious. Not a budget recipe...the feta and shrimp make it more on the gourmet side...but worth it as an occasional splurge for our family. Our five picky kids all LOVE it and it is so simple to make! I followed the directions nearly exactly; I didn't have any fresh basil so I substituted dried.
This was SO good...yum! I didn't have fresh basil so I used dried basil and substituted butter for the olive oil and it turned out great! Will definitely make this again.
This is the best recipe I have made from this site! It is amazing as is, but if you want more heat it would be good with crushed red peppers. The fire roasted tomatoes is a must-otherwise it would be too bland. It is easy and yet you can make it for company.
This is a good basic recipe, that I took up a notch by adding more spices >>red pepper flakes. more garlic cloves, a little oregano and more basil - also added 1/4 cup white wine, 1/4 cup cream and 2 T cream cheese - it was very good--- I would add more feta next time , but had some in refrigerator already and should of gotten more - I used more shrimp too -I will make again!
Made this last night. All I can say is ... WOW! This was soooo good, I felt like I was at an Italian restaurant! My son took the leftovers to work, and all the men were just drooling over the smell and wanting a taste! This is a keeper! Thanks Amy for a great dish!
This was soooooo good. I used canned and fresh tomatoes cause I love tomatoes. The feta melts and makes it a creamy dish. Excellent...
Great recipe...Very easy. I added 1/2 cup olives chopped and stuffed with pimento. I chopped about a cup of fresh shitake mushrooms. No salt is needed. Thanks for a great recipe.
I have a similar recipe, with regular tomatoes and without feta, so I enjoyed the variation and found it very good!
This recipe was surprisingly delicious for such a simple recipe. I agree with the other reviews, this dish turns out like restaurant quality. My husband and I ate this for dinner one night and then each had a lunch-sized serving the next day. Our grocery store didn't have regular fire-roasted tomatoes so I used a can of fire-roasted tomatoes with green chiles that I already had. Made for a very spciy version, I think I'd rather stick with regular tomatoes.
This was a delicious, easy, healthy recipe. I added sundried tomatoes soaked in a little chicken broth and artichoke hearts to up the veggies a bit
I used fresh Mozzy cheese instead of feta and added a bit more basil. This dish was simple and delicious!
Woderful! I used 1 tsp of dried basil because I forgot to buy fresh. I used whole wheat linguine and I will definitely make this many more times. Quick, easy and tasty...what more could want?
My family did not like the fire roasted tomatoes, but enjoyed this recipe with a can of regular diced tomatoes and the addition of (frozen or canned)artichoke hearts (not marinated)
This recipe is so easy to make & very flavorful. I have made this over & over again. A keeper
Fantastic and so easy!! What a great meal! Perfect for a middle of the week meal or a meal for guests! We will make it often.
I have made something similiar to this for years but the change of the fire roasted tomatoes and the feta are wonderful. If your stores offer it, definitely use the fresh feta packed in water - milder and far less salty than the wrapped variety. I'm a frozen fish snob and never use frozen seafood but got to yapping to the man behind the fish counter about cleaning shrimp... I dubiously bought a recommended raw, cleaned frozen shrimp package he recommended and it was wonderful. This will be a meal I can whip up anytime I feel like it with out running to the store!! Thanks you!!
This was such a great dish. It was so easy to make it. I'm just learning to cook, and I impressed my fiance with this dish.
Pretty good recipe...I tried it a second time and doubled the recipe. I used one can of regular fire-roasted tomatoes and one can of tex-mex style fire-roasted tomatoes. I also sauteed some onions before adding the shrimp and used garlic powder rather than cloves. Lastly, I added some parmesan cheese to the sauce and pasta.
So simple and so good! Accidently bought pre-cooked shrimp and was still excellent -and so easy.
This dish is quite tasty,however i did make a slight addition. While the mixture was heating i added 1/8 cup of heavy cream,which helps to keep the pasta from soaking up the mixture and drying out while adding a touch of sweetness,then added some cayenne pepper to taste for a little kick. Turned out very well.
Good but needed to kick it up a notch. I added fresh spinach at the end of cooking & a little hot sauce. Overall something I'll be making again
We made this recipe exactly as written and loved every bite! Thanks for the great meal:-)
I wasn't too sure about adding the feta, even though I like it. I went against my better judgement and am so glad I did! I allowed the entree to cool before adding the feta and it was fabulous!
Very quick and easy recipe with tons of flavor. Will make this again and again.
my girlfriend and i LOVE this recipe. It is on the "when do we get to have this again?" list.
I have not cooked this yet but it seems to be very good. I have a question: I will not be able to get fire roasted tomatoes. What can I use instead or how can I prepare them myself? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
3 stars for the recipe as-is - it's pretty bland. I added some sliced black olives, which helped, and next time I will add some white wine to the sauce. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes would be a welcome addition, too.
Fast, easy, and delicious. Loved it! My store was out of fresh basil, so I had to use dried. I am sure it would be even better with fresh. Good enough for company. This one is a keeper.
I loved this recipe! I added crushed red pepper flakes to the tomatoes and it was definately not bland. The pepper flakes went great with the feta.
This recipe was a good as everyone has said. Next time I might add some kalamata olives. Like everyone said don't add salt. Definitely a keeper!!
Great recipe,.. used pound of med. shrimp,.. a quarter cup of white wine (which I simmered off) and about a 1/4 cup of dried onion,... totatly awesome!!!
We absolutely loved this recipe. I added a little bit more garlic (as I always do), pretty much doubled the feta and used 1 lb of medium shrimp. I couldn't find the fire roasted tomatoes so I used Garlic, Basil and Parsley Tomatoes. Came out amazing!
A little overly-tomato flavored for me, but a very tasty meal. Used some Schwans' 6-cheese tortelloni, and a pound of 16-20 per pound shrimp along with the fire-roasted tomatoes.
so-so le hace falta sabor. Los roasted tomatoes tienden a ser dulces, y no tienen acidez.Luego de cocinar los camarones espese la salsa antes de reunir la pasta y los camarones. Substituir aceite por mantequilla,y posiblemente adobar los camarones antes de cocinarlos.
This was great! Very simple but a ton of flavor. I added an additional can of tomatoes, about 20 lg shrimp and used tomatoe basil feta.... simply divine!!!
Very very good! Very light and fresh tasting! Will make this one many times! Thanks for sharing!
I wish I could give this 3.5 stars, but I'll settle on 3. I thought it was only alright. I added some spinach, which I thought was a nice touch, but I think next time I'd replace the shrimp with chicken.
WOW! Felt like I was dining out in an exclusive Italian restaurant. All of the flavors blend perfectly!
Pretty good recipe. Neither me nor my husband were blown away by it, but if you like feta cheese, then you will like this dish. My only complaint is that it seemed a bit dry...could have used more tomatoes or tomato sauce.
Very good. Next time I want to add more shrimp, I used 15 and I think it would be better with more and maybe some sliced mushrooms or green/red peppers. So easy and tasty!
I would also give this 5 stars! It was delicious. The only thing I did different was use a can of salsa ready roasted tomatoes and it was spicy which we enjoy, but I know it would be good with the other tomatoes too! Will definitely make this again!
Good but it needs more spice, and it's a bit too salty even without added salt. I might add some vegetables (zucchini, bell pepper, or something) to cut the salt. It definitely makes more than 2 servings as I prepared it. When making it, this time, I changed it to up the spices but it still needed more: I partially cooked 1/2 lb shrimp in 2 cloves garlic (for flavor) but added them to the sauce at the end to finish cooking. I did add more spice to the tomatoes -- 1/4 minced onion, 3 cloves garlic, 1/2 large jalapeño, and 1-1/2 tsp dried basil -- and cooked them a bit to meld the flavors. I'm limiting pasta intake, so I served it over brown rice (which was delicious). I'd increase the onions and basil (or add oregano) and use red pepper flakes instead of jalapeño. I might try a bit less feta to cut down on the salt.
This dish was super easy & tasty! We aren't big fans of shrimp so I substituted boneless chicken breast and I added olives for a little extra flavor. Everyone loved it! I will make this again.
This was not really that great. The portions are way off - I cooked for "2 servings" and it fed 4 people plus a little extra. And I needed to add more shrimp. Over all was just kind of blah tasting. Don't think the fire roasted tomatoes go with the Feta either.
Pretty good. I am a novice cook, so with time, as I become better, I am sure this dish will be better. Will be making again!
The recipe was really easy to follow. The shrimp can easily be substituted for chicken. I added more basil to make it come out more in the dish.
This dish was excellent. I used large red shrimp which made it more special. I will make it again. This can be a company dish and is very easy to make. I gave it 5 stars...
I have made something similar for a few years but the change to using Roasted Tomatoes and adding in the Feta makes a HUGE difference. I also add a generous amount of red pepper flakes while I'm sauteing the shrimp. A great easy quick dinner!
