Our CREAMY GREEK SHRIMP PASTA is almost a one pot pasta dish! So creamy and decadent with the most delicious sauce!

Lately one pot pasta dishes have been super popular. I can see why because they are incredibly easy to make on a busy weeknight or weekend. They can be delicious; however, sometimes they can be a little dry. That’s why I like to make a creamy and decadent sauce in only one pot and boil the pasta separately. It’s almost a one pot pasta dish!

The flavors in this creamy Greek shrimp pasta are wonderful. The shrimp are cooked first with basic seasonings and lemon juice and then added to the pasta later on. The base of the sauce is inspired by my most favorite dish – 20-minute Tuscan chicken with penne pasta!  Then we start with the base of the sauce – onions, zucchini, orange bell pepper, chicken stock and oregano. It’s probably not authentic Greek, but still delicious!

But it tastes Greek!

This dish is easy to substitute any vegetables you have on hand or ones that may need to be used soon. I love how versatile it is. Want to make the dish vegetarian? I know some vegetarians will eat shell food, but if not, then omit the shrimp. Easy!
