  • 3/4 lb medium shrimp, cooked, shelled and deveined
  • 1/2 lb feta cheese*, crumbled
  • 6 scallions, chopped
  • 4 tsp fresh oregano, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (sea salt if on a corn-free diet*)
  • 1 lb spinach linguine

Directions

  • Cut tomatoes in half crosswise. Squeeze to extract seeds. Coarsely chop tomatoes. Combine tomatoes, shrimp, feta cheese, scallions, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss well and let marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour.
