A Greek version of scampi made up of bell peppers, shallots, artichoke hearts, shrimp, kalamata olives, feta cheese, and your choice of pasta.

Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic; saute until soft and almost brown.
Add bell pepper, parsley, thyme, sherry and lemon juice; bring to gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer until bell pepper is soft, about 3 minutes.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Not only quick and easy, but really tasty! Not a lot of complex flavors just the right combinations. I didn't change anything and we really enjoyed this dish. For the pasta, I used linguine. Brent said it could have used more kalamata olives :)
