Ingredients
1 pound large shrimp(about 16 shrimp)15oz can diced tomatos- italian recipe- drained.25 cup pesto sauce16 large kalamata olives4 oz reduced fat crumbled feta cheese1 lemon1 cup COOKED basmati rice4 Tbls pine nuts1 teas greek seasoning( I use Cavenders)
In a large bowl mix the canned tomatos,pesto sauce and the greek seasoning.
Tear 4 large pieces of foil(heavy duty if you have it.) Place .25 cup cooked basmati rice in center if each roil piece. Divide the raw but peeled and deveined shrimp evenly on top of the rice. Pour the tomato pesto mixture evenly over the shrimp.
Slice the olives and sprinkle over the shrimp. Divide the cheese and sprinkle over as well. Each portion is topped off with 1 tbls pine nuts.
Roll the foil up into packets and place in a baking dish, Bake at 375 for 20 minutes until shrimp is done.
To serve slice open the packets and srve with a slice of quartered lemon and fresh hot bread.
A simple salad of greens,cucumbers, sweet onion and a vinnagrette dressing completes this terrific meal.
** If you are serving for company may I suggest a Pinot grigio wine or "vino verde" offering to compliment this dish? Any wine that could be described as crisp and citrusy would work. Chardonnays do NOT. (trust me I made that mistake!) Oakey and buttery clash with this like chocolate and onions! YIKES
