Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 5 ounces spaghetti
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons diced red onion
  • 6 ounces frozen, cooked shrimp
  • 1 teaspoon Espelette pepper powder, or to taste
  • 5 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well.
  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add frozen shrimp and Espelette pepper and lower heat to medium-low. Cook until shrimp is no longer frozen, 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add drained spaghetti to the skillet along with feta cheese. Increase heat to medium-high. Toss to coat spaghetti in the mixture until feta has melted and become a sauce. Remove from the heat and toss in parsley, mint, and chives until incorporated. Divide between 2 plates.
