This was quite tasty - simple, light and delicious. I made it exactly as written, except that I had a little more than a half-pound of shrimp on hand, and used it all. Like some previous reviewers, I also have a slight problem with the proportions - a full pound of pasta is way too much for the "other stuff", in myh book. If i were to make this again, I'd cut the pasta down to a half-pound, or double everything else. One other minor quibble is that, as is, there are really no added herbs or spices. The feta adds some nice flavoring to the simple butter/shrimp/onion flavors, but this recipe is a little noticeable for the lack of a little basil? thyme? or something like those. But overall, this is a very nice recipe, which I just might make again, with my suggested changes.

The flavours in this recipe are an excellent combination, and I think it's a great start. Based on other reviewers' suggestions, I cut the amount of pasta in half (kept the other proportions the same), and added a clove of garlic in with the onion. I used a combination of olive oil and butter, and used some shrimp I had seasoned with garlic salt a few days prior, so they were VERY flavourful and delicious :) Even using 1/2 of the pasta, I still felt it could have used more sauce. But like I said, it's an excellent base recipe that is easy to customize and quick to prepare. Thanks for sharing!

As written this is just average, but, I added spinach, swiss chard, and diced tomatoes to it and it was a 5 star meal after that! I served it with WW pasta. I picked this recipe because I have tons of feta cheese that I needed to use. This was a great way to use it with ingredients that I always have on hand.

Loved the flavor of the feta and the shrimp. Based on other reviews, I added garlic and also increased the amount of shrimp to 1/4 pound per person. I replaced the butter with olive oil and used whole wheat pasta. I had some black olives in oil in the frig and added a few of those to the finished sauce and they blended well with the feta. Will definitely make this again, very quick and good.

I thought this was great!! I did substitute olive oil for the butter and threw in some garlic and I used less than 1/2 the pasta. I can see why some may think it's a bit dry...it is not really a sauce, but more a topping, but I would double everything but leave the pasta the same. Thanks!

I thought this dish was very good, yes it did need some garlic, but as I am on a lowfat diet this was perfect for me. I also added steamed brocoli and snowpeas and grape tomatoes. Not everyone can eat food smothered in cream sauces. Keep the low fat food recipes coming

I thought this was amazing! I did add about 1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic and about 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts. Because of other reviews saying that there wasn't enough sauce, I used half of the noodles. this was plenty for my family. I couldn't stop eating!

I gave this 4 stars because of its texture, the shrimp and the pasta with this feta cheese sauce needs more liquid...for my liking. I think the key I will try next time will be a tablespoon of lemon juice. This time I used the olive oil and the feta cheese I chose already had the garlic and herb in it. Along with adding about a 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream to 7 oz of feta cheese and 1 lb of shrimp and 13oz of Angel hair pasta. Over all a good taste, just texture issues to my family.
