This recipe is adapted from one of my favorite cookbooks, Fresh Food Fast by Cooking Light. All the recipes feature 5 ingredients and 15 minutes to make. But the Greek-Style Shrimp Saute is easily one of my favorites. It’s on our menu rotation year round.

As promised, its super simple. Shrimp, greek vinaigrette and seasoning, grape tomatoes, Kalamata olives, feta and basil, are sauteed up quickly. Okay, that’s 7 ingredients. The original recipe didn’t use the Greek seasoning and listed the vinaigrette as an option instead of olive or vegetable oil. I think Cooking Light counts seasoning and oils as pantry items and doesn’t include them in the ingredient count. But in this recipe, they bring a lot of flavor so don’t count them out!

Just for the record, I don’t measure most of the ingredients. I use 1 pint of grape tomatoes, probably a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of olives and plenty of feta cheese. I also use 1.5 pounds of shrimp instead of the 1 pound the recipe calls for. I mean, who doesn’t want more shrimp. That’s the beauty of this simple recipe, you can just add as much or as little of any of the ingredients.

I serve the shrimp over orzo, and I usually add a splash of greek vinaigrette to the cooked orzo just to add a little flavor. Of course, I always serve with extra feta! Yum!

This is absolutely one of our favorite summertime dinners! I hope you’ll give it a try and let me know how you like it.
