Method

Add water to a large saucepan, bring to a boil; add tortellini. Cook about 6 minutes, until pasta is done. Drain and set aside to cool. Saute shrimp in olive oil; add salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper; cook just until shrimp are done. Set aside to cool slightly. Peel and thinly slice cucumber and onion. Once pasta and shrimp are cool, combine in a large bowl along with cucumber, onion, feta cheese, tomatoes and Greek dressing. Toss and serve at room temperature, or refrigerate at least 2 hours.

 

Notes: Some people like it cold, but my family and I like it served at room temperature.

 

Number of Servings: 5-6
