Cooking Steps
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and thinly slice garlic.
• Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain.
• While pasta cooks, rinse shrimp* under cold water; pat dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Once pan is hot, add shrimp, scallion whites, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are opaque and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. • Using a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to a paper-towel-lined plate (be sure to leave some scallion whites and garlicky oil in the pan—you’ll need them for the next step!). Reserve pan.
• Reduce heat under pan with scallion whites and garlicky oil to low. Add crushed tomatoes, a pinch of salt and pepper, and as many chili flakes as you like; cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have darkened, 5-7 minutes.
• Add drained spaghetti to same pan along with shrimp, feta, ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water, and 1 TBSP butter (½ cup pasta cooking water and 2 TBSP butter for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until everything is coated in sauce and cheese is slightly melted, 1-2 minutes. TIP: For a thinner sauce, add a few more splashes of pasta cooking water.
• Divide pasta between bowls. Garnish with scallion greens and serve.
Shrimp are fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
I was hesitant about this recipe but I'm SO GLAD I got it! It is delicious. It's actually spicy, the recipe was easy to follow, and the results are amazing. I would like to have more cheese, and if I make this again I will use much less chili flakes.
This was such a simple, yet flavorful, recipe. The shrimp I received turned out plump and delicious. The sauce was simple to prepare. This week, I was only cooking for myself, so I was able to have a dinner and two lunches from this meal. Great deal and a great recipe.
Delicious! Hit the spot and loved the portion size, was a good value and got two hearty meals out of it. Loved the shrimp and feta combo! Will make again thank you
Shrimp are so flavorful. Nice recipe. The noodle brand is key. Just could have used another half of a bag, since we ended up with lots of sauce left but no more noodles.
The chili flakes were a little overpowering for the delicateness of shrimp and we like spice. I was missing the recipe card but printed it from the site.
This was a good dish that tastes amazing a day or so later! I just loved the flavors and the crunch from the scallion!
Really enjoyed this. It has a subtle kick of spice and the fresh scallion as a topper was a great touch.
I was surprised how good the feta was with this dish. Very good and I like easy recipes. I made it a bit mild.
I loved everything about this dish. The shrimp was nicely complemented by feta--reminds me of a dish I've loved in Greek restaurants.
Great flavor combo. Good amount of shrimp and nice amount of spice.
