Several weeks ago I looked in the freezer, cupboard and refrigerator and declared ”We have way too much food in the house”. A nice problem to have, but I really needed to see what I could make that would not require the purchase of many new ingredients. The first thing I did was to catalogue everything in my freezer, then deli and vegetable drawers in the refrigerator and lastly the pantry.

I had quite a bit of shrimp (several sizes) and some pearl onions in the freezer. The deli drawer had a tub of feta cheese that held only a cup and had about three weeks until expiration. The pantry had some wheat linguine and cans of fire roasted tomatoes.

I searched my recipes and found a perfect match: Fire Roasted Tomato and Feta Pasta with Shrimp.

A nice hearty dish.

I decided to add the pearl onions after I took the pic.

Saute up the garlic and onions.

Add the shrimp.

The tomatoes.

And pasta.
