Pan Seared Shrimp in Tomato, Basil and Feta Sauce

Easy, healthy and delicious dinner, Pan Seared Shrimp in Tomato, Basil and Feta Sauce ready in just 20 minutes!

Well, it has been quite sometime since I’ve done a shrimp recipe. The last one was back in April last year, Chipotle shrimp tostadas, which turned out amazingly good. Everything with chipotle turns out just perfect!

For today, I have a super simple pan seared shrimp recipe! Dinner ready in just 20 minutes, not kidding 🙂 It is so good, healthy and so easy to make. The full flavored tomato sauce with fresh basil and feta cheese will get the best of you. I dare you to forget about carbs for just a couple of minutes and enjoy this amazing sauce with some fresh baguette!

I love to cook with shrimp, especially if I am planning a quick dinner. Shrimp cooks so quickly and makes it so easy to add it to any meal of the day. The original recipe used shrimp with tails on but have decided to remove those too. I just hate to worry about tails when we are talking about shrimp in sauce. I just want to enjoy it completely 🙂

Just, don’t forget to remove the vein from the shrimp before adding them to the pan. Or even better, buy already deveined, if you have this option available.

Some of the ingredients and  I have used to make this Pan Seared Shrimp in Tomato, Basil and Feta Saucer recipe:

• Tomato Passata Puree– I use tomato passata a lot in my recipes. I prefer this one to tomato paste because it has more flavor.
• Olive Oil – live and breathe extra virgin olive oil 🙂
