The hubby and I were experimenting the other night for dinner and came up with this. It was very good. For those of you who do not like seafood you could easily substitute chicken for the shrimp just follow the recipe otherwise. I used thin spaghetti for the pasta but you can use whatever type of pasta you prefer.
1 6 oz. tub tomato/basil feta
1/2 box thin spaghetti
1 12 oz. bag broccoli florets
1 24 oz. bag jumbo shrimp
At least three cups of Greek vinaigrette dressing
Marinate shrimp with half of dressing for at least one hour.
Heat the grill to medium-low to medium. Note – I used a grill grid, so I had it in place before even lighting the grill.
Prepare pasta according to package directions concurrently while preparing the broccoli and shrimp.
Stir broccoli with other half of dressing. When the grill is hot, place the broccoli on the grill grid in a single layer. After about 6-8 minutes of grilling the broccoli, place the shrimp right on the grid with the broccoli. Cook shrimp until all are cooked and opaque.
Remove broccoli and shrimp from grill. Drain pasta and toss feta with pasta. Combine broccoli and shrimp with pasta.
Serve and enjoy…
Additional note: This was all an experiment with no recipe. It worked out very nicely. I eyeball most of my stuff (amounts and temperatures and such) when I cook, so good luck!
