Greek-Style Scampi


This quick, filling weeknight meal relies on easy-to-find ingredients. Add a spinach-mushroom salad to round out the menu..


6 ounces whole wheat pasta
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano, undrained (since most brands of canned tomatoes with spices have added sugars, use no sugar added tomatoes and about 1/4 teaspoon of dried basil, oregano and garlic powder)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
6 tablespoons (about 1 1/2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese

1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain and keep warm.

2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add green bell pepper to pan; sauté 1 minute. Add garlic and tomatoes; cook 1 minute. Add black pepper and shrimp; cover and cook 3 minutes or until shrimp are done. Stir in red pepper; remove from heat. Place 1 cup pasta on each of 4 plates. Top each serving with 1 cup shrimp mixture and 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese.
