Ingredients
- 1 pound spaghetti or similar pasta
- 1 pound raw medium or jumbo shrimp - cleaned
- 6 ounces goat cheese at room temperature
- 2 cloves garlic - sliced thin
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives - pitted, halved and chopped
- 2 ounces sun dried tomatoes - chopped coarsely
- 3 tablespoons fresh basil - coarsely chopped 
 
Roasted tomatoes, olives, and cheese combine perfectly to enhance flavors of the shrimp and pasta
noodles.
 
Directions
  • Warm goat cheese to room temperature so it will easily melt when ready to combine with
    spaghetti.
  • Begin cooking spaghetti. While spaghetti is cooking, prepare all other ingredients
    so they can be ready when spaghetti is finished cooking.
  • Clean fresh shrimp (if they have not
    been pre-cleaned), removing shells, tails, and deveining. Sauté garlic cloves in olive oil for
    1 to 2 minutes. Add shrimp to the garlic and cook until the shrimp has a rosy pink coloring on

each side.
  • Add olives, sun dried tomatoes and basil to the garlic and shrimp mixture, allowing
    the added ingredients to warm slightly.
  • When the spaghetti is finished cooking, remove from
    heat and let drain in a colander or strainer briefly.
  • While still very hot, place spaghetti
    on a serving plate or bowl and add cheese immediately into the hot spaghetti so the cheese can be
    melted amongst the noodles and dispersed throughout to serve as a sauce. Remove shrimp and other
    ingredients from heat, serving over the pasta.
