Jeremy’s Mediterranean Shrimp

I love unexpected surprises. This is the perfect example of a meal created with leftover items. My husband “created” this one weekday night when we had no clue what to have for supper. Since that first time, he has added a little of this and a little of that to create this simple weeknight meal!

Ingredients
➢ 1 lb medium shrimp, deveined and cleaned
➢ 16 oz pasta sauce (your choice)
➢ 14 oz Artichoke Hearts, draining half of the liquid
➢ 20 Kalamata Olives, pitted
➢ 2 teaspoons minced garlic
➢ 1 medium bell pepper, chopped
➢ 1/2 red onion, chopped
➢ 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
➢ 8 oz Linguine

Let’s get saucy! Add the pasta sauce and garlic to a skillet and heat over medium high heat. Once the sauce simmers, turn down the heat to medium. Add the bell pepper, onion, olives and artichoke hearts. Cover and cook for 12 minutes stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile cook the linguine according to package directions.

Finally, add the shrimp to the sauce mixture and cook until they are pink (usually takes about 4-5 minutes). Serve over the pasta!
Enjoy!
