Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
Season the rock shrimp with salt and pepper. In a large, straight-sided sauté pan, heat the 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Add the shrimp and sear on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes a side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate.
Add the jalapeño(s) and garlic to the pan; sauté for about 3 minutes, until they soften.
Add the cherry tomato purée; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Simmer over low heat, until the tomato purée has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
Add the fettuccine to the boiling water. Cook for 1 minute less than the package directions instruct, then drain in a colander, reserving about 1/4 cup cooking liquid.
Add the fettuccine and the cooking liquid to the pan of simmering tomato purée; increase heat to medium. Return shrimp to pan; toss to combine. Crumble the feta into the pan; continue to gently stir pasta and sauce for about 1 minute more. Taste to see if the mixture needs more salt (the saltiness of the feta can vary).
Serve the pasta in four wide, shallow bowls with drizzle of high-quality extra-virgin olive oil over the top of each serving along with some freshly ground black pepper.
