Best 7 Greek Pasta Salad With Shrimp Olives Recipes

GREEK PASTA WITH SHRIMP, FETA, AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Heat a large pot of water for the spaghetti. Salt it well and cook the pasta to package directions, minus 1 minute. Scoop out 1 cup of pasta water and drain the pasta.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saute pan on medium-high. (DO NOT use nonstick.) Dry the shrimp well and add them to the pan. Saute, turning frequently, for about 1-2 minutes. Your shrimp should be starting to cook, but not be cooked through.
• Dim the lights. This will help you see the flames. Add the brandy to the pan and give a few seconds to warm through, then take the pan off the heat. (And away from any flames if you have a gas cooktop!)
• Using a long match or lighter, carefully light the brandy. Swirl the pan to allow the flames to reach all the brandy. When it goes out, try again and see if you can get the brandy lit. If you can, swirl, and wait. If you can't, you're done and move the shrimp and juices to a bowl.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan and heat until it's shimmering. Add the onion, bell pepper, and salt. Saute for 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute more.
• Add the cooked pasta, pasta water, olives, lemon juice, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and the juices from the reserved shrimp to the saute pan. Cook, tossing the pasta often, until the sauce comes together, thickens, and coats the pasta, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and let it heat through.
• Add the feta and parsley and toss. Serve.

ORZO SALAD WITH SHRIMP AND FETA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente (about 2 minutes less than the label directs). Drain and rinse under cool water; shake off the excess. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping, while you make the shrimp.
• Toss the shrimp on a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the garlic, and salt and pepper to taste; arrange in a single layer. Broil the shrimp, turning once, until opaque and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the shrimp, lemon zest and juice, scallions, mint, dill, cucumber, feta, olives and the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil to the bowl with the pasta; toss. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, up to 6 hours. (Bring to room temperature before serving.)
