If you have to use frozen cooked shrimp, as I had to, put the shrimp in last after everything else is cooked and just warm it up. I served it over shell pasta because you can get so much more sauce per bite when you eat it with a spoon. Also, if you can't get Romas, canned stewed tomatoes are just fine.

Tish, this was wonderful and very easy. The only thing we did differently was to increase the amount of red pepper flakes since we like things 'nuclear' at our house. Thanks very much for posting!

When I made this I forgot to add the red pepper flakes however, both hubby and I thought that wouldn't have made enough of a difference to make this a keeper recipe. Both of us found it rather tasteless and bland. I was actually quite liberal with the fresh basil too and still, there seemed to be no taste. I doubt I'll make this one again.

Yummy! I used a combination of feta and goat cheese.

Exactly what i was looking for - shrimp, feta and pasta are three of my favorite things in this world. The extra feta for seasoning is necessary. I'll definitely cook this one again!
