Notes
- Use whatever pasta shape you like!
- Use a whole block of feta instead of crumbled feta for best results.
- Make sure your baking dish is the right size. If it's too large and there is too much room between the tomatoes, they might dry out.
- Substitute feta cheese with a vegan version to make this dish dairy free! Just make sure you don't add the cheese to the baking dish until the last 15 minutes or it will burn.
- Omit shrimp or replace it with other proteins of choice to suit your dietary needs!
