This dish was incredible. It's quick and easy and great if you want to impress some guests. It even tastes good as left-overs.
Quick, Easy, Yummy

Lateria from Newberry, FL

I used one of the package pesto mixes, added a few extra spices (dill, basil) and some lime. Served it with Garlic/dill/cheese french bread. My husband and 2 year old loved it. I keep shrimp in the freezer in case I need to make a quick meal - this is a good recipe to keep on hand.
Great!!!

red from

I did my own version of this. It was great! Good enough for a restaurant. Ive added some green onion to the peper and olives. Since I didnt had any pesto, I used tomato saus and basilicum. I forgot the wine, but didnt mis it. I didnt had any feta cheese, but added some lemon juice when the pasta was ready. Delicius!
What a Dish!

Victoria and Rob from Higganum, Ct

We loved it! Would eat it for days....Reheats well.
Wonderful ...Easy... Meal

Dolly from WNC

I tried this recipe and it was wonderful. Very quick and easy to prepare. I also used precooked shrimp and it was also fine. I would try the tip of using a little lemon juice next time. Overall a great choice to try!
Deliciously Easy

Sylvia from Stockton, CA

I saw this recipe on your site. It just sounded good and looked easy. My whole family just loved it. I got precooked shrimp from the butcher and it worked out fine. A big green salad with all the vegetables and grilled french bread made the meal complete. Next time more shrimp the family says.
Wonderful!

Mischa from

Not only was this receipe easy to make, it was WONDERFUL! Next time I am going to make it with wild rice! The sun dried tomato pesto gave this dish an incredible flavour!
Superb!

Tiffany from NC

This dish is delicious! My husband loved it; my two kids, ages 3 and 6 loved it too! It tastes even better reheated. It's a great dish to make for company. We couldn't find the sundried tomato pesto in our store, so we chopped up sundried tomatoes and used a basil pesto instead. Really Good! Double the reciped if it's for four, you'll have a good amount of leftovers.
My New Signature Dish!

Delilah from Santa Rosa, CA

I needed something to make last night for my inlaws who were coming to dinner and I saw this recipe was featured when I opened my meals.com email. Since it looked so good and got so many good reviews I decided to try it. My husband was worried I was going to make a recipe I hadn't tried yet but it was easy to make and came out perfect. I served it with a Ceasar salad and some crusty bread with an olive/fig spread and everybody loved it. I am planning on serving this menu for my next dinner party as well as putting it on the regular rotation of family dinners.
Wonderful!

Dawnell from Beaufort, SC

This recipe was AWESOME, my kids loved this pasta dish they ate very well so I will make it quite often now. Thank You for sharing this one.
Terrific treat

j jones from Durham NC

I fixed this dish last night . What a trea! Terrific menu. I initially misread the menu, thinking it called for chopped onions which I sauteed with the peppers. It turned out delicious. A five star meal. Thanks for the goodness.
EXCELLENT!!!

Sarah Howard from Richmond, VA

This is so yummy! And it's unbelievably easy. Very elegant for a quick get together. Do not have that brand pesto but used another and chopped up sun dried tomatoes into that and just bought a box of dried noodles and cooked them.
Teen friendly

pamela keith from bellvile, ohio

My daughter is learning to cook and she made this recipe with a minimum of my help. She was so proud when her brother said she could make it anytime for him.
Excellent

Judy from Kansas

My husband Loved this recipe, he is not a huge pasta fan and I swear I thought he was going to lick the pan. He has told me 3 times now that this recipe is a keeper. It was quick , easy and yummy , the perfect recipe.

Mediterranean Shrimp Pasta

Paula from

This recipe was great. I made it using frozen baby shrimp, slightly defrosted. It was easy to make and absolutely delicious. I e-mailed it to my daughter who's husband is a very fussy eater and I am sure he will love it. A definite KEEPER.
Wow

Scott Stagis from New Bern, NC

This recipe has gotten me in trouble. My wife wants me to cook all the time. All she could say was how good it was. It was easy and most enjoyable. No left overs here.
Fantastic

Amber from Charlotte, NC

This is one of the best pasta dishes ever! I used frozen shrimp also- defrosted in luke warm water first. Very quick and easy to make!
OUTSTANDING

kathy bielli from Nevada

This was an incredibly easy preparation, and delicious family meal. We also subtituted the Parmesan cheese instead of feta, it was fantastic!
Mediterranean is the best!

Cheryl Battice from Atlanta,Georgia

My husband is Mediteranean and he and I absolutely love this recipe! It is light and healthy, it helps that we love feta cheese and shrimp. Keep up the great work!
Excellent summertime dish

Karen Goldwater from

My husband and I liked this dish very much. It was very tasty and easy to prepare. I don't care for feta cheese, so I replaced that with parmagean. I also used cooked, frozen shrimp to save time. It still came out excellent.
Excellent

Corinne Braslins from Abbotsford

This dish was absolutely delicious and a big hit with our family. Substituted a jar of sun dried tomato with pesto as I couldn't find the pesto with dried tomato. Best pasta dish I've had. Thanks.
Good AND easy

Barb Thor from Oakley, CA

Excellent pasta! I couldn't find Buitoni Pesto with sundried tomatoes so I used the regular Buitoni Pesto and feta cheese with tomatoes. YUMMY!
The Best

Virginia from Clearwater, FL

My husband loves it. I love it. AND, easy to make.
Awesome

Marie Rock from Ft. Walton Beach, Fl

I made this recipe for my husband on Valentine's Day, and all he could say was awesome. I substituted with regular pesto, all three types of peppers, and no capers. My husband hates vegetables, but he ate every bit of his food. The recipe was very easy, and fast to prepare. I was astonished at how easy it was, and how good it was. I have recomended this to all of my friends. I suggest that everyone try this recipe.
Best Shrimp Recipe Ever!!!

Rob Prescott from Woodside, NY

Thanks so much for this great recipe, My girlfriend and i made it last night and all we could say was WOW. It was excellent. It tasted like restaurant quality food. We are having leftovers tonight as well. Easy to make and fun to make with your loved one. Thanks again!
WOW, even the kids liked it!

Renee Kozik from San Antonio

Great receipe that is quick and easy to make. Reheats well and is even better the next day. I doubled the receipe and it fed a ton of people and even a few neighbors.

EXCELLENT AND EASY!!!!

Jessica from CO

Just having a baby I need meals that are healthy, delious, and most important very easy! This recipe was just that, I had a wonderful meal in just 20 minutes. All the different flavors came together wonderfully. I suggest this dish for everyone to try.
SWEET SASSY MOLASSY!

Philly Baby from

I am right about to make this delicous dish and I just know that it will be great! I know this because I make a delicous dish when ever the temperature is between 45 and 50 degrees and luckly for my date, today it is snowing! Just a warning, it is tough to find the ingredients in Walmart.
Gourmet quality and easy!

Sue from Salem, OR

I had never cooked shrimp before but decided to try this because I'm trying to include more seafood in our diet. This recipe was easy and yet so delicious. My family loved it! It would make a perfect dish to serve to company. Also couldn't find the suggested pesto but bought garlic pesto and added Roma tomatoes as suggested by another reviewer.
WOW This was great

Julie R from Ft. Meade.Fl.

This was really good! Couldn't find the Buitoni Pesto with Sun-Dried Tomatoes so substituted Basil Pesto after reading some reviews. I also threw in some bay scallops with the shrimp and everyone raved over it. If you leave out the shrimp or seafood it makes a great side dish too! This is a definite keeper.
We LOVE this dish

Anupa Ahuja from Dallas, TX

This is a great dish! I didn't have sundried tomato pesto, so I used a big tablespoon of basil pesto and chopped some Roma tomatoes and threw them on at the end. Loved the flavors, loved how quickly it was made!
Excellent!!!

Sandy Witek from Durango, Colorado

I made this last night for my husband and myself. He took a shower and I had it done by the time he got out. It looked wonderful tasted even better, now I can't wait to make it for company. This is the best shrimp/pasta dish I have ever made, and I cook alot!
Delicious!

rhoda from ca

Wow, I was just surfing thru trying to find a main dish to use the homemade pesto I'd created - no sundried tomatoes. I doctored the recipe to serve 12 using 24 oz. shrimp. Deleted the feta thinking the parmesean in the sauce would make it cheezy enough. I roasted and peeled the red pepper and didn't have good olives so skipped that too. Used many more capers than specified. After cooking the shrimp and veggies in wine, I stirred the pesto into that and dumped the whole deal over 2 lb. linguine dishing it out with tongs. Excellent w/a tomatoey green sal., homemade ital. bread, and beets - homemade brownies and van. ice cream for dessert. Everyone loved it! Just read the suggestion about squeezing lemon juice on top and wish I had tried that. One of the best dinners I've ever made.
Terrific

Alicia from anchorage, Alaska

You have to try this one if you like seafood. verry good and rather healthy.
Forest Gump could not beat this shrimp recipe!

Terri Graham from Mobile, Al

I was very impressed with all of the flavors that came together in this dish. This recipe is definetly a keeper! My whole family enjoyed it tremoundously. Bayou LaBatre is 15 minutes from here and according to Forest Gump it is where you can find the best shrimp in the world and it is true! Trust me this a great recipe! Yummy!
Good, Easy & Very Mediterranean

Susan Neorr from

With prepared pesto, this recipe is a snap to make. It's colorful and delicious. Next time, I'll add more red pepper to boost the vegi aspect of a recipe rich in olive oil and olives. A 5 star if you factor in how quick and easy it was to make.
Inseperable: this dish and Italy

Carla Nolin from Boston, MA 02122

I doubled this for a group of 8. Served it in a large bowl with fresh basil sprigs for garnish. I also used large shrimp. Served with a large green salad dressed with lemon, cracked black pepper and olive oil,two loaves of crusty bread and many bottles of Italian wine - the table looked wonderful! The only thing people talk about durning dinner was the pasta and Italy.
Ideal summer dish

Kim from San Francisco, CA

This recipe is so easy and delicious! Because I watch carbs, I actually cut out the pasta and add more veggies like broccoli and spinach. Also, try sprinkling some lemon juice when serving. Perfect!
LOVED IT

LARA-TYE from AUSTRALIA

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS DISH,I LOVE PRAWNS AND PASTA AND I REALY LOVE SUN DRIED TOMATOS SO THIS MAY JUST BE MY NEXT FAVOURITE FOOD.
Great Taste

Charles Tillinghast from Stillwater, MN

I love shrimp; I love pasta: I love to cook and I love to eat. This one satisfied them all, an easy and very tasty recipe for family and (or) guests. This one makes any cook look great.
