BAKED FETA TOMATO PASTA RECIPE WITH SHRIMP
As much as we try not to be susceptible to hype, for the most part Tik Tok trends have turned out to be legit time and again (we're looking at you, Tik Tok tortilla hack!). The most recent example is the baked feta pasta recipe that originated with Finnish blogger and artist Jenni Häyrinen. Like many of the best recipes, the premise is simple: bake cherry tomatoes, feta and oil until everything is bubbling, then mix with your favorite pasta. It creates a delicious sauce in absolutely no time. We decided to put our own spin on the viral recipe by using more tomatoes, chili flakes instead of chili peppers and lots of garlic, plus cooking shrimp directly from frozen at the same time for some added protein to be mixed in with the pasta. It is quick, easy, delicious, and definitely worth the hype.

Steps:
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400F. Bring a salted pot of water to a boil.
- Step 2: Rinse the frozen shrimp and place on a baking sheet. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- Step 3: Drizzle 1/2 cup olive oil on a second baking sheet. Put the block of feta on the sheet along with 2 pints of cherry or grape tomatoes and 6 to 8 cloves garlic. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon red chili flakes and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt over feta and tomatoes. Gently toss the tomatoes so they are coated in oil.
- Step 4: Put both baking sheets in the oven. Roast the shrimp for 6 minutes, or until just cooked through. Remove and set aside. Cook the feta and tomatoes for 10 minutes then rotate the pan 180 degrees, turn the heat up to 450, and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are bursting and the feta is slightly browned around the edges and very soft, even a little oozy.
- Step 5: Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve 1 cup or so of the pasta cooking water then drain the noodles.
- Step 6: Remove the feta and tomatoes from the oven and stir to break up the feta. Add everything on the baking sheet (oil and all) to a large pan or bowl along with the cooked spaghetti and shrimp. Toss to combine. Divide among bowls and top with parsley or basil. Serve.

ONE-POT ORZO WITH SHRIMP, TOMATO AND FETA
Inspired by a Greek appetizer, shrimp saganaki, this one-pot recipe adds orzo and grape tomatoes to make a complete meal. Blistering the grape tomatoes coaxes out their natural sweetness, which pairs well with the salty feta. For a vegetarian version, skip the shrimp and stir in some spinach or arugula at the end. Warm up leftovers by adding a splash of water to loosen the sauce, then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with crumbled feta.

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, combine half the garlic with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the shrimp, coating it well.
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add the tomatoes, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to blister, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the remaining garlic, 1 teaspoon oregano and ½ teaspoon red-pepper flakes, and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the orzo, stirring until lightly toasted, about 1 minute, then add the crushed tomatoes and 1 cup water. Season with salt, and use a wooden spoon to scrape up anything stuck on the bottom.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until just shy of al dente, stirring occasionally to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom, about 10 minutes. Add the marinated shrimp on top, cover and cook until they are cooked through and the orzo is al dente, 4 to 6 minutes more.
- Remove from the heat, divide among plates and finish with black pepper, feta and parsley. Serve with more red-pepper flakes, if desired.
SHRIMP AND FETA CHEESE PASTA
Steps:
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cook shrimp, garlic and white wine for 5 minutes, or until shrimp is pink. Remove shrimp with slotted spoon and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
- While pasta is cooking, cook tomatoes with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, oregano and basil over medium heat in wine mixture until tender, 10 minutes.
- Toss hot pasta with shrimp, tomato sauce and feta. Feta will melt slightly. Serve.
