Greek-Style Pasta with Shrimp

If the pasta salad seems a bit dry, stir in a little more yogurt just before serving.

Prep: 15 minutes
Total: 20 minutes

Ingredients

Serves 6

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1 pound gemelli or other short pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/4 cups plain low-fat yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint, coarsely chopped
  • 1/3 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and coarsely chopped

Directions

  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions; drain.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add half the shrimp; season with salt and pepper. Cook until just opaque throughout, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
