This Mediterranean shrimp pasta is bright, savory, and full of fresh flavor from juicy tomatoes, artichokes, basil, lemon, and feta. Tender shrimp and angel hair pasta come together in a light white wine sauce that feels elegant enough for guests but easy enough for a weeknight dinner.
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil for the pasta. Pat the shrimp dry, then season with salt and black pepper.


Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, just until pink and opaque. Transfer to a plate so they do not overcook.


Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the same skillet. Add the shallot and cook for 2 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Pour in the white wine and simmer until reduced by about half. Add the diced tomatoes with their juices, chopped artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.



Cover and simmer the sauce for about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down. Uncover and cook for a few more minutes if needed, until the sauce is slightly thickened.
Meanwhile, cook the angel hair in the boiling water until al dente according to the package directions. Reserve a small splash of pasta water, then drain.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and add the cooked pasta and chopped basil. Toss gently to coat, adding a little reserved pasta water if the sauce needs loosening. Heat for 1 to 2 minutes, just until everything is warmed through.
Serve hot topped with crumbled feta. Add extra basil or black pepper if desired, and serve with crusty bread on the side.
If you do not want to cook with wine, replace it with chicken broth or seafood stock. Do not overcook the shrimp or they will turn rubbery. Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though the pasta is best served fresh.
